This school is very unpleasing. The teachers are nice and all but the office is very rude. if i go up to the office if they called me up there the lady is on the phone the whole time and i am waiting and she says what do you need and i tell her so she continues to talk on the phone. I always feel uncomfortable up there and they are very rude. I would say that eversince Mr. Bacon has been at that school kids have felt more like they have someone to talk to. Nobody ever goes to any of the principles. Only Mr. Bacon. He listens to your needs. Trask middle school is also unorganized. When we got our new dress code teachers would say one thing and another teacher would say another. And half the time u dont know where to go! they change schedule alot!

I love the school and so does my child. My concern is the same as mentioned by another parent. The lack of textbooks is bothersome. I also like to go over with my child what was learned in school and have no reference. My child has asked to bring home her textbook in order to study and was told that they cannot do this. What is this saying to the child. Getting the child to study is difficult enough, and when they show enthusiasm to at least try, they should be given reiforcement. In addition, over the weekends no homework is given. This wouldn't be a problem because I could take on the task of assigning work myself if I had a textbook to utilize. Other than these issues I like this school and teachers are very pro-active in communication with the parents, which is lacking in many schools.

We are not pleased with Trask Middle School. Last year, my son was in G6-III and had a lot of homework, which is ok. This year in G7-III, he only has daily homework in math and has an excellent math teacher. He occasionally has a Language Arts assignment. The teachers' websites indicate no homework will be assigned, and that all work is done at school. Also, he doesn't have science, language arts, or social studies textbooks; the teachers teach from power point. In the past, we've always gone over the textbooks with our children to reinforce what was learned in school that particular day. I looked at G7-I and G7-II teacher websites, and they have loads of homework, so what is this national statement, 'no child left behind' supposed to mean at Trask. I agree--the office staff is borderline rude.
