Romulus Middle School

Initially I perceived the school to be slightly above average, most of the teachers were welcoming, helpful and available for concerns. However, I later found out that there were staff members teaching whole semesters or more that were not certified teachers. When the concern was brought to administration's attention I was given the excuse that they were working on their certification and in another case the permanent teacher would be returning soon. Later, I found that the uncertified staff member was changed to a created instructional position that did not require teacher certification (Instructional Interventionist). I also warrant any parent that has students in the athletics programs to be very visible. Students are often left unattended and doors are often left unlock/propped open. When that concern was brought to the attention of the administrator his response was that he's elementary and new to the middle level and still learning.The assistant principal is more knowledgeable and seems to be more concerned about the students and their safety. I feel that it is imperative that central office make unannounced observations to assess quality and act on needs for improvement.

I Think Rms Is A Great School, Except The Landyards! I Kinda UnderStand The Tardy And Focus Cards For It To Be A Requirement To Wear Around Your Neck. Thats Not A Crowd Pleaser , But Overall The School And The Teachers Are Great. 5 Out Of 5

I am a parent, grandparent,and volunteer at the RMS. The Principal Ms. Adkins is doing a great Job for my grandchildren, who are on the National honor society. She help build thier self-esteem and incouragement to succeed and be the best that they can be. The programs and grants for visiting the U of M university, the gear up program, the WISE program. Women In Science and Engineering. She spends her time and money for and on the children. She's like a God Mother, Mentor, friend , and disciplinarian to all of our children at RMS. Lets keep her here at RMS.

Im not happy with this at all.It has alot of drama there with the students,pregnant girls corrupting the other girls.fights in halls they need to hire security guards to keep the kids in check.And as for the principals you need to listen more and change some things and let this school progress instead of letting the problems continue.Lets graduate from being a three star and challenge these students because Romulus Middle School is better then this!

The good things about the school are the principal and the building. Parents should take control of their childrens education and behavior. If our students are taught economics k-12 they will learn to value public education and demand more of the staff for our tax payers dollars.

Well I have just completed my middle school years and have mixed feelings. I think it's an o.k. school, but I've always noticed that the more popular kids seem to get breaks with a lot of the adults. We had the problem with one of the the 3 lunches being VERY large ( I mean like to the point where you'd stand in line 20 minutes of your 30 minute lunch break). People would always cut in line and were sent to the back if the were caught. I do have one good thing, The 8th American History teacher Mr.McCabe is the greatest teacher I've ever had.
