Poulsbo Middle School

Posted February 27, 2008

Our daughter is attending PMS as a sixth grader. We're still adjusting to the newness of the whole thing. Overall, I think things are going well. She has a couple exceptional teachers and one she hasn't quite connected with. I've met with the teacher regarding school work and wasn't impressed. She isn't very warm, rather cold and harsh. It's quite a change from elementary school. For the most part, our daughter is making new friends and getting in the swing of things. She has done 4 book reports so far, with more to come. I do like that the students are held accountable for their homework and that there is homework, although it seems to have let up a bit since the beginning of the school year. I think teachers and students alike are adjusting to the new middle school format. I may revise my rating after the year is over.

I agree with the most recent review, my child attended 7th grade at PJH and I found the teachers were not willing to take any extra time with her. I hope this school will improve next year when it turns into a middle school.

Both of our children attended PJH. Unfortunately there is absolutely no help from teachers when a students wants it or needs it unless you are an A.G.A.T.E.student or teacher's pet. If a student is struggling in a class, the teachers don't seem to get that student help.

We moved to Poulsbo just this school year and immediately got involved. Teachers encourage parental involvement and treat you like you are one of them. The Principal is very caring and concerned, through his actions, i.e., being out on the school grounds in the morning, and at events such as Band performances. But what was especially encouraging for my daughter, a new student, was the 'pep' this school has for it's teams. On the negative side, my 7th grader did not do one single book report all school year. Reading is definitely encouraged, and there is time to do that during the school day, but I find writing about what you read to be more useful in developing critical thinking and writing skills and she was never required to turn in a book report. Maybe I'm old fashioned.
