Note. All three star ratings are areas in which I have no knowledge. All five star ratings are areas I am personally involved in, and do have knowledge. It is my opinion that to give BMS a "1" rating in the area of equity is a cheap shot as GreatSchools gives no supporting data nor do they cite any documents to support their claim. I am an at large member of the BMS Family Resource Center (FRYSC) board, and have first hand experience with the program and it's administrator. The FRYSC program follows guidelines that are mandated by the State of Kentucky, and the administrator is dedicated to the core values of the program, one of which is seeing that opportunities are available to all students, period. The administrator makes many connections with students and family members, and all those connections are recorded. The administrator also goes to great lengths to offer programs and events designed to invite parents into the school family, letting them know that they and their child are important, and that their concerns will be heard. (Most recently, less than a month age, the administrator organized a "Take Dad to the Park" event. An elaborate day at the Bloomfield Park designed to get fathers more involved in their child's education) If there is a student at BMS who is not receiving an education or support opportunity that any other student is receiving, it is only because that student, or their parents, have chosen not to receive it. The old addage, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink." applies here, if that is the case. If GreatSchools is interested in offering an accurate rating of the opportunities students have to access all programs available at BMS, I suggest they contact Bloomfield Middle School, and ask to speak directly to the administrator of the FRYSC program.

I personally go to this school there have been numerous times that people have been bullied and they have turned their backs and have look the other way but food is good for school lunch but in the whole school there is only one teacher and both janitors that I like but if it’s the only school you can send your children to then it’s not that bad but it’s not the best school some teachers either don’t know which I highly doubt or they really just don’t care for special education but it’s not all teachers and my Parents have to call up there and figure it out.But overall it’s not the worst but not the best school you could send your children to if you could it would be better to have your children homeschooled especially if you would have the patience to help your kids out and it would help especially since last year the 6th grade had a horrible math teacher she kinda explained it in a way that really didn’t teach anyone math she was really strict like I’m talking very strict but a couple teachers are lauded back just behave and alls good but if you have the option to send your children to this school it’s not bad but homeschooled might be better.The punishment for not following the rules aren’t very strict for some reason they take dress code is more strict than like vaping which I personally don’t do but the punishment isn’t very harsh. But any parents that want to send their children to this school look at some more reviews that are from students and not teachers or workers because it’s not the same perspective so if you see any reviews on google look on some other websites to get the truth and not lies. Trust me you want to.

After two years there I am satisfied with the education my son has received (and he has a 504). There are some improvements I would like to see but I can't say that I think my child would be any better educated at any other middle school in the area.

Bloomfield Middle school does not even deserve a one star. This school is horrible. My son was bullied all the time and the stuff knew it was happening and they would just look the other way. My child is a special needs child that never learned anything from this school did not get the services he needed. It does not do any good to go to the principal because he does not care. Since my son has attented this school he has really bad anxiety and depression. I personal can't stand this school.
