Martin Luther King Junior Academic Middle School

Posted December 12, 2009

I am a 6th grader and I can already say that I love this school. The teachers here are fun and easy to love. This school does give out easy A's,though,and the work is easy. Most students here are easy to get along with so no need to worry social wise. There will always be somebody who will take you or your child in as a friend. It's a mixed school and I have met people here from everywhere, even places I didn't know existed! The orientation helped out a lot. I would have been lost on my first day without it! It's a small campus so it's easy to get to your next class. Social wise, I think this school is not cliquey so it's a five out of five stars. Academic wise, I think it deserves three stars. Send your child here,I'm pretty sure they'll have a fun!

I am currently an eighth grader here at MLK, and it has been a great school year. Our band is flourishing, I can boast that some of our members has made it into All-City band last year, and are confident they'll get in once again this year. I am in the 'small community,' which has only two teachers instead of five, and my teachers are wonderful. They always recommend tutoring and try their best to explain questions, but from what I hear from the 'large community,' only their math teacher is serious. Our PE teachers has just became more strict in terms of dressing. Also, our newest principal, Dr. Eddings, takes his time to talk to every student (he also has a great humor!) and sends newsletters daily to our parents. I am satisfied with this school, but I believe it still has a lot of improvement to go through.

It's not the best school, but it's not the worst either. I am in 8th grader here right now, and it's a pretty fun school, though there is not much to do. You have very little elective classes to choose from, but they're really great classes. It is a very diverse school. There are art programs, plenty of them. The only way to get to play music would be through band, which is still working its way up there. The school just bought new PE equipment, so there's tons of new sports to get through. My class just got through football, and now we're learning to play badminton. Overall its a fairly good school, but it could be better

Although this school bost some of the the finest teachers it is not apparent when you child is attending. Teachers don't take time with children needing added help, the would rather send themt o the office with a suspension for not participating in class. The truth is that many young children are lost in MLK and the Principal and Counslers are only interested in their state funding and levels not with education our children. There is no music or arts program here, however they do have SPORTS...where is the balance? Just don't send your child here!
