Francis Bradley Middle School

Posted March 13, 2009

My son is in 8th grade. Overall I feel Bradley is a good school. My main issue has been the lack of challenges and expectations from some teachers (mainly Honors Language). Both his teachers last year and this year do not assign quality work and do not require them to even write in cursive. I feel they are not properly preparing the students for high school). I think the Teachers do a great job keeping up with parent assistant website, regarding the students grades, but their personal websites are hardly updated with upcoming assignments.

After reading the reviews i am wondering if this is the same school that my son attends. The lack of the communication at this school is my biggest concern. I have had issue after issue with the administration. My son is an average student with no disciplinary problems. Several of the teachers/coaches/principals at this school have little or no respect for students or parents. It is unacceptable for students to be disrespectful to teachers but acceptable for students to be disrespected. The 8th grade principal Mrs. Bryce speaks to you like you are beneath her. The smallest things at this school become issues while the important things are left out. I have two other children in elementary school who are zoned to attend Bradley. I won't make the same mistake twice, we will be moving before i go through this again.

As a parent of one child that has gone through Bradley and another that is currently enrolled I can with no hesitation recommend this school. each of my children has faced different challenges at different times and despite having different learning styles and social skills, both got what they needed here. The team teaching approach, teachers that are motivated and care and outstanding programs and clubs make this school exceptional. We like it much better than the middle school my son attended in Massachusetts in a very upscale town with a supposedly excellent school system. We couldn't be happier.

Though I liked my son s 6th grade team better, I felt they were better teachers. My son is in the 7th grade now I still feel they are doing a great job just not as attentive. I have nothing but praise for this school. Teachers are really approachable. Assistant principles are really responsive. Extra curricular activities are fun as well as add to the learning experience. I would recommend this school.
