Chaotic environment, teachers managing behaviors rather than teaching, ineffective leadership, poor implementation of evidence based practice (making it not evidence based)

Lack of resources and effective administration has bred a community that supports bullying and violence. Teachers are from the bottom of the barrel.

It’s been an okay time going to lange, but I wish the teachers did something about to bullying. I also wish we had stronger and more in depth curriculum for students like me, who often get bored in class. Rather than just having advanced math classes, I think it’d be good to have advanced other core classes.

My grandson just got assaulted by a bully two days ago and they gave him ISS! You pwoplw who operate the public school system should be held accountable for my grandson being assaulted. If I was his mother, I would be pressing chatges on all you nit wits!

My daughter attended 8th grade at Lange for 4 months before we finally pulled her out and transferred her to the local Catholic school. During her time at Lange she was both verbally and physically attacked by other students on multiple occasions, and even got to experience racial discrimination - by the time the staff actually responded to any of it, it was really too little, too late for our family.

I am proud to have been a part of lange middle school. It is a great school with great kids and staff. Also lots of people that don't like lange want to tell others but others that do like don't think about giving it community feedback because they don't have any problems so it doesn't come to mind. Just a little psychology lesson.

Lange is a great school. Its a great place to learn and make new friends. Also, I remember you who wrote the last 1 star rating. I hope you are doing great at your current school but i dont know why you said some of the things you did. You were laughing a lot and i dont think people were picking on you. You might of thought so though. On the peeing thing, the kid who did it was sleep walking and had an adrenaline rush. Im sorry that happened but it was in no means on purpose as much as i learned.

While many say that Lange is a school where discipline isn't the best, Lange is my school. I go there and I actually have fun--in school! Why? Everything! Sure students will say classes are boring, but we're in middle school! We're still kids! And we learn a lot. We get our work done. While some students need to be guided with a tougher hand, most of us only have our occasional outbursts. Maybe other schools get better scores, but teachers will help when necessary. I'm here to say you aren't going to find a school like Lange Anytime soon. Lange, is a great, school.
