Pilot Butte Middle school is a very nice school with some great teachers with great respect for there job. But just like what was said in the other long article I beleive that the problem is the students, and it is not sex, it is cussing, rumors of drug use, and some verbal and physical bullying.This schools principal, Mr.Michaelson, is a nice man who does care for the students educational success.

It is a very good school with very good teachers, however, for me, as a seventh grader that has been in many other schools, i think that they need more extra curricular activities, and need to talk to us (students) about behavior more, why? well to be honest, that one star that is missing is really because of the students, I mean, most are great, many are my best friends. but it seems you can't go one day without hearing less then ten conversations about sex, or sexual conversations from the students, which, to be honest, is not just dis-respectful to some people, but plain annoying. And the students also won't stop swearing and being complete jerks to other students. A lot of peple smoke as well, and, nobody seems to care. there are real nice kids there, but there should be many, many, more.

It is a great school with nice but strict teachers. The principal, Ms. Bennet is involved regularly with the students at PBMS.

About the tests


In 2009-2010 Oregon used the Oregon Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (OAKS) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in reading and math; in grades 4, 7 and 10 in writing; and in grades 5, 8 and 10 in science. The OAKS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Oregon. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
