Kerr Middle School

Can not believe a parent would complain about math being "crammed" down a child throat. As a parent I want my child to have good math skills. You go to retail stores and kids do not even know how to make or count change back or how to manage funds. We want to repeat a generation of kids who can't manage thier money or credit.? How's that working for Americans now who buy houses and things they can't afford. I think our kids NEED math and reading CRAMMED down their throats. This school wants these children to have good basic life skills. There are great teachers and staff who care about our kids education even though parents are not very involved as a whole. Try not bashing the school go up there volunteer, mentor a child help make this school the best it can be and make a difference.

NOT a very good school, they cram math classes down the kids and the majority of what they teach in those classes-math-is only used in a few specialized fields. The state of OK has forced these tests on the students and it's all that matters to the staff--make US look good, screw your education. The disrespect and bullying is right on, check facebook for "nice" videos of students fighting and cursing. Most, but not all, the teachers are there to just collect a paycheck and go home.

This school is a good school. Some kids are disrespectful alot of times, But theres only a handful. The priciples care, and so do the teachers. The counselers are on the ball. The 3 years i went to Kerr, were some of the best.

I want to say that I loved my daughter's teachers however, that doesn't change my rating of only 2 stars. It is not the school's fault that they are strapped with horribly underdesciplined children. The behavior of the students is horrible, they curse, make sexual remarks and bully and that is all in the 6th grade! We will be transferring my daughter to private school next year.

My daughter has not attended this school as she is entering the 6th grade this year. However, I have had to keep some of my co-workers children while they deployed and those children attended this school. From what I can see their was limited staff oversight of the children. I could hear children cursing loudly at each other. Some kids were play fighting and bullying other kids. The facilities seem to be in disrepair also. I attempted to transfer my daughter within the school district, but was basically told that because the district receives $4000 per out of district transfer, those children get priority over our childen that live right here in the district. If anybody has had this experience please leave a post, as I will be going to the school board about this matter. In the mean time, my child will be going to Moore Schools.

The school has had a new principal every year, never meet this last one. The counselors just sit in their offices and just deal with problem kids. needs more parental involvement badly. My son goes there and I have looked into to another junior high, not any in Del City as both are not good. There are some really good teachers here, the science and math teachers are great. The home ec teacher needs to retire badly. This school is a BIG disappointment. My other child will NEVER go to the school. I will not allow her. They let students leave school by themselves. A student was in trouble and the counselor just let the student walk home since the parent was at work. I was horrified at this, this is a HUGE safety problem. Bad students from OKC go here, if they stop it the school could be good.
