Tomahawk Creek Middle School

The teachers are great, but the administrators are completely ridiculous and only go by the book. My son's friend was suspended for ten days for accidentally running into one of the administrators, and it was put on his permanent record. I'm certain if he had bumped into another student no one would notice, but bumping into a school official? Ten days suspension. Middle School administrators should not act out of anger like that.

My son's class was the first class to attend all three years at TCMS. He was in the gifted honors cluster and found the course work challenging. Overall, he had a teriffic middle school experience. I have three more children attending in the fall and hope their time at TCMS equals or exceeds that of my firstborn. I do not have any experience with the new principal, but I'm sure he'll be wonderful as well. This school is worthy of 5 stars and we feel very blessed to be included in it's zoning district.

Everyone here seems to love band, but I'm in the Chorus program and love it so much! We have an amazing teacher who pushes us but doesn't over work us. Every year we go to a Choral Festival, which involves choral groups from all over the area. They rate you 1-5 in many different categories. Last year, all 6 groups got 1's!

My daughter attended TCMS for 2 years and had a very positive experience. The teaching caliber far exceeded our expectations and she was encouraged to reach her full potential. I actually found the level of discipline refreshing. Many schools are afraid to discipline kids these days and I was very pleased to see that this school sets high standards and expectations and sticks to them.

My child attended all 3 years at TCMS. I was very pleased with the proactive approach to bullying. I was also pleased how the school handled disruptive children in the classroom. The teachers are outstanding! My child excelled each year at TCMS. As for the review about the teachers coming from elementary school, that parent needs to get more information about the school. Several of the teachers came from the gifted program out of Manchester Middle and many were High School teachers that choose to come and teach at TCMS. What a wonderful group of teachers that care about education! My child is ready and equipped for high school, academically and socially because of her experience at TCMS! We hope the new administration will continue the path of the first.

TCMS is a great middle school. Come see for yourself! The administration and teachers care about providing the best education for the students and do a great job. The people who post bad reviews are only upset because their children got caught doing something they shouldn't be doing. Take responsibility for your actions and teach your children how to do the same!

This is an excellent school. We re-located from Atlanta, where we did not have a positive middle school experience. My son is challenged and is excelling. He has been given opportunities to advance to honors programs and participates in sports. He is positive for the first time in his school career.

My child attended 7th grade at TCMS last year and it was a terrible year for us. The teachers were pulled from Elem Schools so were not prepared for this age group. The Administrators were ridiculously to the book. They had no minds of thier own, simply followed policies like robots, no individual or independent thinking. I hope there will be some changes going forward.

My child attended TCMS this year for 7th grade and hated it!! in my opinion this school is way too strict and issues detentions/suspensions for everything. This is only going to cause more student discipline issues as the children will begin to feel as if they cannot do anything right. We were highly dissappointed in this school and are now looking at private school for our child.
