My student will be finishing 7th grade and has attended all 3 years at this school. We had some trepidation with the 5-7 setup at first, but it worked out fine. My student has become more independant and responsible with homework, has earned very good grades (an improvement from elementary school) and had a great time. The setup is very nurturing and the individual grades are housed on separate floors, in separate 'pods'. We've had some wonderful teachers and some not-so-wonderful teachers but I would expect that anywhere. The front office staff is friendly and accomodating. We had some issues with bullying on the bus and it was addressed immediately. In response to previous posts, if you don't want your child to attend an activity at the rec center, simply don't send them! It has nothing to do with the school's performance!!!
I have to agree with the parents posting on March 15th, that the 5th grade is a realy problem. 10-year-olds are just too young for middle schooll and the Administration is NOT delivering what they promised at the beginning of the school year, that they will operate this grade like elementary school until the students are adjusted. There are many excellent teachers, but without a strong administration, the talents of the strong teachers are not fully blooming.
MaryEllen Henderson Middle School is a wonderful school environment where our younger middle school students have an opportunity to grow and develop more independence while still in a safe encouraging atmosphere. I love the small size and sense of community. Our SOL and other testing scores are outstanding, but they are not the emphasis of the education. Extra curricular activities are abundantly available and the staff is incredibly supportive of all student endeavors. I have two children attending MEHMS, and I couldn't be happier.
MEH is a awesome school! It is suituated in a beautiful city and the building which was built in 2005 is very modern featuring its own tv crew that tell the announcements to other students over the tv. My current teachers are encouraging but also provide me with great support. The counsolors are also very good at what they do, meaning they to are also very supportive of me.
