R Max Abbott Middle School

Safety is an issue here. Discipline is inconsistent. I would definitely spend the day observing before enrolling your child.

The school is pretty nice overall, the teachers are very great to students. The work is hard, and the tests are not easy, but it is a joyful school that offers many courses and extra-curricular activities. The one bad thing is at lunch you cannot sit where you want.

Well... It's not good, but it's not bad... Homework is very high, in my opinion.

My child was enrolled at this school at the beginning of 6th grade. He became a target for bullies and after reporting the problem to his homeroom teacher and to the principal, he was physically attacked. I moved him to a safer environment because of my concerns with retaliation. I agree with the parent who stated that 'the students are led to think they are learning, but are actually being prepared for the EOG' I understand that there is an ongoing problem here with bullying and harrassment.

This school is like the perfect school they are always trying to make learning fun and help those who need help in thier work. They also look at disipline as a big thing too. You do what they say or your out. They have a variaty of electives. They also love sports at this school there are always teachers, student, and parents supporting and donating towards sports and educational needs. I would definently recomend sending your child here.

As a parent, Max Abbott has been a disappointment. I have a rising 8th grader and have found the disciplinary actions taken to be very subjective.

Max Abbott is a good school. They have great electives, sports teams, and other extracurricular activities. So many parnets help out at the school in the office, classes, and every where else. This really is a great school.

students are led to believe that they are learning what they need to learn. Truthfully, from the beginning to end of the semester only End of Grade testing is stressed. Children are not encouraged to read, think or love learning. They are simply bribed to do well on the end of grade testing. Students leave this school and go to high school not knowing anything, but how to pretend that they have learned something based on what the focus of the school and that is simply to do well on the examanations. Students are still at a great disadvantage.
