Becker Middle School has been the best. My son is in Jazz Band and Mr Welch could not be better. These kids are AMAZING and they have AMAZING teachers!
My child is currently attending Becker. I am not that pleased with this school overall, from lack of accommodating an agreed-to plan for an IEP, failing my child, insufficient communication, runaround to get the most basic information, to the Dean's office being completely inappropriate in conducting their business (labeling, accusations that don't fit transgressions, assumming, no follow through, lack of timely communications with regard to disciplinary events). I moved to this area because I heard this school was considered among the best CC had to offer and am disappointed to say the least.
i was a student at Ernest Becker MS last year and have now gone on to high school. The teachers at Becker were amazing, as were the students (most anyway) and the rest of the staff. Keep up the good work Becker!
The teachers at this school are great. We relocated from md. And nedless to say the staff was very supportive. My daughter continues to excrl in her studies. The orchestra program is top notch. Please keep up the good work.
I was a student of Becker Middle School and it was one of the greatest 3 years of my life. The diversity of students is a great learning experience. Sports were great as well as their music programs.
Overall, Becker is a very excellent school. My son and I just migrated from another country and yet he was able to adjust very well because the teachers and students are very nice. The school is well kept and the school environment is safe and friendly.
I think it is a great school. It is very clean and in a nice area. Teachers are great too. Amazing after school programs. Yet part of the zone is in a sketchy area, wish they would rezone but great school.
As an eighth grade student (3 more months) I'm very proud of my school. The teachers challenge me to become strong academically and personally. We scored the highest scores in the state. The programs are wonderful, and the extracurricular activities are absolutely superb (especially student council; I'm the Treasurer). Since I'm in all honors I can really see how well the teachers are. The staff is great! We recently got a new dean and he definitely knows how to lay down the law, so the 'problem children' are becoming a lot better. Overall a superior school. Go Bighorns!
I attend Becker Middle School and I love it. The teachers there are so encouraging and willing to help and make a difference. The students there too don't form their own little clicks. Everyone talks to everyone. I don't just have one group of friends and I feel like we can all really get along here. This school is really diverse too. Its not like some schools where everyone is rich or everyone isn't. It has a mix of both and you get to see both worlds and it really helps students become real people. I love this school!
I attended Becker for all three years. The teachers always tried their best to help. The principle was amazing! I loved that school and would go back anyday. Sure there were fights, drama and problems, but Becker tried hard to make it a good school and they succeded. I was president there and was on the dance team. It really great to get involved there. Your year seems so much more fun. :)
