They do a great job with a very lower middle income group of kids. They try to treat everyone the same. There is only a little bullying going on at this school.

My oldest went to Bridger and loved it there. My youngest is now in 7th grade and loves school. I will say that my oldest wasn't challenged enough in Math.. They did something for with 4 other students and offered them more challenging assignments using High School math.They do go mile to help the students from what I have seen. Kim

If anything at all, the curriculum isn't challenging enough. My son attends Bridger and is an effortless honor roll student. My 1 complaint about this school is it needs a serious face lift. The school has to be at least 40 years old. Also kudos to Mr John Sutton...an outstanding asset to this district.

As a student at this school, I am fully aware that all my teachers are doing what they're paid to do. No teacher gets paid enough, but they do it because they like to. This school is amwesome.

The math cirriculum in this school and the other middle schools is cripling these students. He just continues to fall behind and his math teachers don't seem concerned enough to notify us if he fails unit tests. They continue to move forward to the next unit with out the proper understanding of the previous units. He is not alone. Many students struggle with this cirriculum, yet they continue to push ahead, leaving students 'behind' So much for NCLB!

we moved into this area because we only heard great things and to our alarm it has been a nightmare. the education my child is receiving is a disgrace. the educators at this school only care about their next paycheck and how they can humiliate the students in front of their peers. they are on a power trip.

The teachers at the 8th grade center care strongly for our students. I have had one student already pass through, one now attending, and two future students. They definetly get the children prepared for the adventures of High School. I would strongly recommend this school to anyone moving to the Missouri area. The facility couldn't be better. Mr. Jacobs is a wonderful teacher as well as all of my daughters team teachers....
