I would never recommend this school. The teachers are aloud to bully the students. The school bullies the parents when they try to speak about it. When your child misses their bus ro head home, they won't call you. They will just let you think your child is missing. They allow the high school students to ride the bus with the middle school. Had problems there. A high school student tried to stab my daughter with a pencil and the schools did nothing. Just not a good place

Alton Middle School is an average middle school, with not many things that make it special. But there is one main reason I only gave it 2 stars.The principals claim that the school has an intolerance for bullying, and that it has an "Anti-bullying policy". The many rules against bullying that this school supposedly has set are not enforced whatsoever. When I try to tell teachers to do something about bullying (many people in my class bully and mock me), they say that they'll do something about it. And every time, nothing happens.This school does not care about victims of bullying, and not only teach us about them in health class, but to not enforce any rules against them.This is actually quite common in the Alton School District.

As a veteran teacher in another school district, I have found Alton Middle to be a wonderful school. We have had three kids go through there. The Main Building seems to be a better option for kids who are just starting there in 6th grade. The teachers and building seems to have more support and better transition to middle school from elementary. The school focuses on the school culture and the wellbeing of students through the Capturing Kids Hearts training and program. The curriculum is rigorous and adaptive to meet the needs of all students. My daughter receives a solid education and the teachers are amazing. I also feel like she is very safe.

When you walk into the Annex building, the workers look like juvenile corrections officers! If that negativity made that much of an impression on me as an adult, imagine the impact it has on little innocent kids!If you don't like your job just do something else. It is the parents that pay for the salaries, and it's not worth it.
