East Garner Middle. Where do I start. The students know the principal by name only and would never be able to point her out if asked. The teachers try to teach, but have to deal with so many disclipine issues that the students that are there to learn receive a cut rate education. The school lives up to the rumors and worse.

I had heard a lot of disparaging things about E Garner Middle School before our son actually attended but, we decided to give it a chance and see for ourselves. Well, barely 3 months in it pains me to say that the school is actually worse than I had heard or expected it to be. Despite every assurance that our son would receive a proper education, he was put into classes that were way below his grade level and capabiliies in the name of being proactive, when in reality it was an attempt to categorize him, and make educating him easier for the staff. Another thing that we found profoundly disturbing is the lack of communication. My son missed a trip because we were not contacted, a prepaid trip, and the school refused us a refund!

This school is a normal school.It is not the most best school in the county but it will do.I will admitt that the principle needs to be involed more and that they need more decipled because my child has came home before saying about the fight and the drama.But it is not like there are fight each day there where only 5 fight in that one year.But you must trust that the assistant principle will step in and do what the principle cant do for the school.
