Rawlinson Middle School

Great school,caring teachers and administration. Bullying IS NOT tolerated and addressed immediately when reported. No school is perfect. My son is doing very well at Rawlinson and I highly recommend it .

I LUV THIS SCHOOL. If you are a nerd, not the school for you. Bullying occurs daily, as well as dhalls and iss. Also, we hav to occupy three rooms for dhall. But i still love the school cuz it is the only school in nisd that acts like a traditional middle school. You gotta hav friends to go here. I fyou dont got friends, you dont got a chance to live at this school. yeah i luv it still cuz i got homies, BYE!

I can't say enough nice things about this school. Nice middle to upper class kids and great teachers. My child used to go to Hobby and was non stop bullied and nothing was done about it. We moved to go to Rawlinson and it has been wonderful. Education is a top priority with the teachers and bullying is not permitted. The whole school is several levels above Hobby.

Although the school is has beautiful architecture, great nurse, and office personnel especially, Ms Salge and Richards THEY ARE AWESOME!. uNFORTUNATELY IT IS LIKE A PRISON DUE TO THE LACK OF AFFECTION, CARING, UNERSTANDING, and genuine direction and maternal instinct. SHe has obviously never had children. FROM PRINCIPAL PENA. Its ASHAME. She is truly COLD as ICE to parents and students!!! Since she sets the tone for the school lets just say she runs it hostile and keeps it like a prison as if she Hates kids. I think with a NEW principal this could be an awsome school. I do have to say it is filled with the MEAN girls crowd and extremly keeping up with the Jones bad attitiudes. SO a student will be fine if they dress to impress and are in only the right cliche with stuck up people who have no respect or regard for others. God help them

Great school with Exemplary rating! My daughter is in 6th grade and is taking AP classes and still making straight A's. I credit this to excellent teachers. They also have a neat program called FLEX that allows the kids the opportunity to get intervention during school hours if they need it, otherwise the kids have the flexibility to attend and learn and explore lots of other fun activities. The school is not overcrowded and there is a very active PTA with lots of parent volunteering. Great school with even better kids!!!!!

My son is being supported by his teachers to be better. The patience that these teachers have is great. Thanks to everyone who works in this school for their efforts and understanding. They will indeed receive many blessings from our Creator.

I was new last year going into 7th grade and was so scared but when i got there everyone made me feel at home. The teachers are amazing and our principle is strict but he has his reasons. The overall students are very nice, very few bullies and so many activities.

For a girl who has gone to a private school all her life and then to Rawlinson, a public school, well it was very different from what i was used to.This school is overpopulated, way to many children all over the school. In 7th grade there was hardly any homework. You do certainly learn things but I had already learned most of the things they were teaching, as in math and science because i had gone to private schools... The discipline here isnt the best. Children get away with many many things. They get some sort of punishment but well ya. teahcers give away detention/ISS (in school suspension) slips like everyday, which was weird. becasue in my old school having ISS and dention were rare. if someone had it, everyone would know. this school is just bad, but if your popular and have lots of friends ull be fine.

This school is above average in comparison to other schools within the city. There have been great changes this year with new administration setting higher expectations for behavior that has resulted in a more caring and safer school.
