Factory Shoals Middle School

Posted November 1, 2009

I am a student that attend this school now.I have read some of these reviews and I can say I only found one of these to be true.This school is excellent.Its a very challenging environment but your child will get use to it.I know this because I just moved here from another state so I would know best.The counselors are there to help you whenever possible.At the beginning of school they encouraged you to come see them whenever possible.I also can say that there are a couple of teachers that can get a really quick attitude but most recently its only because its the end of the day and they are ready to go home.They are very eager to help us get a good education and have a healthy learning environment.

I am very disappointed with this school. The teachers do not have control of the students. They in no way let parents know what is going on. There is a site you can go to in order to monitor your students grades but its rarely updated. And by the time it is, there is little a parent can do because none of the teachers will take late work. Middle school is hard enough on teachers and students without this total lack of communication. It is as if they have no interest in helping a child learn and move on. I am working disparately to get me child in a different district. I have requested several times that my child talk to a counselor only to have my emails and phone calls ignored.

This school is a Mess I am a student who used to attend here.The school is so unorganized! some of the teachers know how to teach but most of them don't. they have way to many behavior problems and do not know how to handle them So parents please do not let your child go to this school!

I was hopeful that when this school was built that perhaps DC would finally have a top rated MS. However, I've been disappointed. The staff are rude to the children. Some teachers have reached their tenure and should retire because of their bad attitudes. OMG! The children NEVER seem to have enough homework to keep them challenged. The PC program does not offer the differientiated curriculum that we were expecting. I hope DC BOE really takes a good look at each and every school and makes significant changes. Oh...this district really needs to offer training in diversity awareness to all administrators-need I say more?
