Bullying is real bad seems like they don't do anything about it
Submitted by other on September 29, 2023
I used to go here and I was bullied badly, nobody seemed to care even when I told them, they said to ignore it every time, but that’s really just not possible when it’s everyday, some of the teachers were very nice but others were mean for no reason at all. I was failing math and nobody ever thought maybe I have a learning problem that we should look into, just told me I needed to work harder, I recently found out I have a learning disability that stopped me from being able to excel in math class, everyone saw me struggling but nobody thought of things that could really help me learn. Vice principal is very harsh with rules and also rude to students that have behavioral issues. He and other teachers choose favorites, and believe their favorites (ie; popular, sporty, smart, and dare I say, rich kids) over other students, myself and my friends were bullied and discriminated against for being different or for having mental health problems. I would not recommend this school whatsoever, I hardly learned, I was miserable every day and dreaded walking into the building each morning. My own sister has severe behavioral issues and had a very hard time with teachers and other staff helping here the was she needed, she ultimately ended us in TLC and is now doing marvelously in her academics, and is happier there than she ever was at this school. Please if you want your child to have a good middle school experience do NOT send them to Charleston Middle School.

This school does not enforce safety, equality, and genuine learning whatsoever. Bullying is left to worsen, fights are common, and teachers don’t take time to help students who don’t understand a topic. I’d say about half of the teachers and staff are accepting and kind while the other half are discriminatory towards students for various reasons. The assistant principal is far too harsh on students who haven’t made an offense against the rules while not putting a stop to those who actually bully or attack others. Simply defending yourself when attacked is punished and you will receive the same punishment as the attacker in most cases. This school treats students horribly and ignores bullying all the while doing horribly at properly teaching subjects. Not to mention, the nurse is hardly present and the counselors are used as a method to skip class but will often ignore genuine problems. If you can help it, avoid this school, your child will not learn anything.
