South River Middle School

This school had once been a school with certain misbehaving kids, and a great number of them were. That was when I first moved here. I think every school has their negatives. But they also have their positives too. Sure the dress code isn't followed many of the time. But at least the students behave and do their work obediently. I have seen big changes in this school after big misbehaving influences moved or became expelled. The principal is great, he is understanding and bothers to even stop in classrooms from time to time and watch the hallways every day. There are no bullies in this school, nobody drinks or does drugs. The teachers are strict but not mean and they are very kind too. Everybody is nice (in their own way) so you'll definately have no problems getting friends. There has been much improvement in this school.

In my opinion, South River Middle School would be better served if there was more parent involvement. I am amazed at the low turn out at Parent-Teacher meetings, as well as the practically non-existent use of ParentConnect. Also,there are students that are not interested in school at all. Their mission is to disrupt and pull as many other students down their path as much as possible. I commend the Principal for working with these students and giving them every chance to correct their behavior. I know this is a difficult job, especially when it is mixed with constant discipline problems. I would like to see the dress code rules enforced. The rule book has great rules on the dress code, who enforces the rules?

This school is very punitive and is not very concerned with the quality of education.They are also not considerate of special needs children.
