oh my got attucks, attucks, attucks! best ever middle school. dont listen to the people who say attucks is a bad school because principal shaw is the BEST principal! i went to the open house yesterday and they have a great magnet program; it lets you cycle through all of the 3 magnets,(journalism, tv broadcast, and graphic computer design)for 9 weeks each and for the last of the 4 9 week stretches you get to pick which magnet you want to go back to a 2nd time. they have great sports, basket ball, flag football, soccer, and swimming, the teachers are very fun but set on learning, and for homework(6th grade)you take home a laptop and basically make up a slideshow and show it in front of the class. go to attucks i got to experience it at the open house!!!
My kids were assigned to Attucks Middle but I moved them out. Most of the teachers were wonderful. The current (2008/9) principal is not. Many of the great teachers left and only a few of them remain. Something isn't right here anymore and I suspect it's the principal. Stay away until it's safe. Great magnet program, though. They even have high school math and foreign language classes. Still, stay away until this principal leaves.
