My personal experience with my son attending FM Black Middle School was a very excellent experience for my son s first year in middle school. Because of all the rumors I had heard I was very reluctant to send my child here. I even had considered home school. My son s elementary years were horrible. Ms. Jao the Principals and Assistant Principals Ms. Richmond and Mr. Day are the best. Anytime we had a situation that needed attention they were all right on it and handle everything with great concern. I think the entire staff are wonderful and know how to work with the children to make them feel good about them selves and they treat everybody else with respect. When students are in the hallways they are very orderly and clear out pretty fast. This school turned out to be great and my son just enjoyed his first year. Created lasting Memories

There has been a big improvement in behavior at this school this year. The hallways are now clear and orderly, and the classrooms look like good learning environments. The 6th graders are in an academy setting.

The lack of discipline on campus has destroyed the learning environment. Hallways are chaotic and loud. Currently, this school is simply not a good place for good education.

My child is zoned for this school and like so many other parents in my neighborhood who also have children zoned for Black Middle, we would rather die than expose our children to this toxic mess they actually have the gall to call a school. What are they teaching there? Nothing apparently. No foreign language, except Spanish--most middle schools offer at least French or German. No honor classes, no advanced math, nothing. What I see everyday are wild kids streaming out of that school and running through the neighborhood like banshees, destroying yards, calling out ugly names, and showing no respect for anything. What happened to citzenship and responsibility?
