When my son attended W.D. Sugg back in 6th grade school choice 2008-2009 when I drove him to school every day, due to no bus transportation to this being out of area it was an A+ school, from 6th & 7th grade 2008-2010. Then when my youngest son entered 6th grade, then during the school year 2010-2011, they proved public transportation in our neighborhood so both my sons were able to attend W.D. Sugg Middle School, by the end of that year, it was a D ranking school!!! And has gotten worse ever since. This is very sad!!! :'(

As a kid that attends this school i suggest you find a different school i don't really learn anything a i feel as if i'm losing knowledge as each day goes by. And instead of the staff focusing on kids getting bullied and other important stuff they would rather give you ISS for something as dumb as spilling milk! I have went to several administrators about me getting bullied and yet no punishment has come to the people doing wrong. So yeah overall DON'T GO TO SUGG MIDDLE SCHOOL!!!!

This school is one of the worst in Manatee County.

My son has attended 6th grade here and for the most part he said it was ok. He loves the classes and is getting good grades. The downfall would be how badly the other students treat each other. I am lucky that my son is mature and tall and can take care of any situation but he has had to walk kids home that were bullied by groups of other kids and has even had rocks thrown at him and others while in gym class. He says the kids curse a lot at teachers and can't believe how disrespectful the kids can be. I plan on moving back out of state to a nicer and quieter community. Florida schools seem to be a little out of control and it seems like that's the norm here.

Sugg Middle School is great! For all types of students! Our staff is always welcome to have new faces as well as new students to be in our school.

Let me start off I hated this school because i was having a bad day and in art class it was worst I got myself my first refferel for being framed so I am drawing this girl got up to sharpen my pencil and I was there for 10 minutes till I finished and I sit down and right on my paper is a innapropriate drawing and I told the teacher but she didnt listen I was speechless when she wrote me that refferel And IM going to MSA next year And I got accepted But I hope 1 refferel doesnt effect it.I just feel like I am nothing at that school too everyone there is childish and when will 6th graders grow up you know.Sugg middle school has very few electives and few varietes of food But some teachers are nice there and I guess I have a few freinds and some elective teachers are nice there to so you can choose if you want your kid to go to this school.
