As a student who has been here from 6th to 8th grade, here's what I have to say overall:
TEACHERS: The 6th to 7th grade teachers are above average without a doubt, and nearly every single one of my teachers in 8th grade have been better than I've had from the past 13 years of school that I've been in. Just like with most places, there are some not-great or just bad teachers/staff, but it's nothing that can majorly interrupt my life or school in general.
HOMEWORK: Homework is really dependant on the teachers. From 6th-7th grade, I got almost no homework other than the weekly reading assignment which takes a few minutes to do (and you get the whole week to do it), this was similar for some of the other students ive talked to. In 8th grade, there is definitely a switch in the amount of homework given. In Math, homework is given daily. But that's about it. Plus, the homework in math only accounts for 20% of your total grade while tests account for 80%.
EDUCATION: School here is just school, same curriculum as everyone else. HOWEVER, in my 8th grade year here, the teachers improved the education by 1000x. Throughout the years here, my teachers would just give the normal textbook assignments and explanations. But my teachers, especially my ELA teacher (Mr. Bender) has taught in a way that has changed the way many students and I learn, and keeps us engaged. My 8th grade teachers take time and effort to craft engaging assignments and lessons that not only teach us the topic but make it worthwhile to do. The classes are separated into 3 levels; "Regular", "Advanced" and "Cambridge". The Regular classes are NOT Regular, they are for students who need help catching up and are behind the grade level in that subject, and they are great at helping you get to a higher level class. The Advanced classes are normal, they teach at a faster but normal rate, with somewhat challenging lessons and assignments (depending on the subject). The Cambridge classes are Advanced, they teach at an above average speed and the assignments are more challenging and thought provoking.
This school is the best of the worst. Compared to almost every other middle school, this is a great place to be. There's a lot than can be improved such as the way they deal with students and some of the guidelines, but these are the same problems that are in nearly every other school, so it's not negative in that sense
