Eastern Middle School

I was very dissatisfied with Eastern Middle. My child was enrolled for two years, and it was horrible. The teachers there seem to have a closed door policy, meaning they will only contact you when they are frustrated with a situation in class. Now I am the parent whom is involved when it comes to school, and my advise to the teachers reading this is to have a parent/teacher conference, (If this was happening the overall school grade would be better) as you see, it is not. This will help both you and the child. My child didn't fail but if you see you are losing a student in class, Take out the time to make a difference in a child's life, instead of ignoring the child. Understand you may get a child like this every year, When are the teachers going to step up to the plate? Teachers should contact the parent immediately if they are not reaching the student. To give a child a failing grade says alot about the teacher. Bottom line, to be a teacher you have to love what you do. The passion for teaching is not there anymore.

I have twins that just started at EGMS this school year. We were VERY APPREHENSIVE about them going but it has been wonderful so far. My children say that they have had a great day at school every day. Joe Farrell is a blessing to the school and has a very dedicated staff. The male presence at the school is also impressive. If you are concerned, apprehensive, or just not sure that it is the right fit for your child give Joe a call or go by for a visit. It will definitely change your perspective.

I love that my kids can relax and be themselves.Kids are under far too much pressure today.Relax and let them be kids while they still can.

I think principal Joe Farrell is doing a great job involving parents, and using discipline that is required for a good school to function . This is my daughters first year at this school,and I am very impressed so far...keep up the good work principal and teachers !!!!

Eastern Middle is a great school, not at all like the news presents it. All the fights they say we have...? We don't even know they happened until it's blown up by the news. We have good students and teachers who want to make the school better.
