This is in response to "former student" dated 12/12/04. You rated the school at five stars because the "teachers teach very good" and "best school I ever been to". If your written language reflects what you were taught as well as your punctuation I think that proves the value of the education received at Page Middle School. Taking into consideration all the other things lacking at Page I believe the school rates zero stars and your rating of five just underlines the lack of knowledge received by the student at Page Middle School! Need further proof? Just read the posting dated 12/28/10; "gone better" "bulling". The second sentence is proof positive the students are not taught. A second or third grade student would be able to correct the sentence structure yet this was written by a person who may have been taught at Page from the sixth through eighth grade. If at some other school the teaching was on the same level as Page. Outrageous!

This review is disappointed too read although page middle school has gone better the teachers work with children well. You may be right about the bulling but is got to a point has stop the Principal is strong knows what she doing so again its great school.


Posted October 19, 2010

I am very disappointed with this school as the staff and principal are allowing children to be bullied and terrorized to the point that the children do not want to attend school. The principal excuse is that they do not have enough staff to watch the children. I have also researched and found out that this school does not encouraged parent participation as the PTA has been dissolved and parents are not allowed on the campus. My question is who is the principal protecting the bullies or the victims? The principals solution is to move the victims to another school causing more truama and stress to the child. Also, causing the children to loose out in any special assistance or programs they may be attending at the school.

I think this school is a very good school I know because I went there the teachers teach very good.I think Page Middle School is the best school I ever been to.
