This school is the worst school I hate this school
Submitted by teacher on March 22, 2023

No don't listen to these other people they are lying our school is the best school out of all these schools in the world but there's one thing that we really don't stop and that is bullying because we tried to hug it out and try to forget everyone and it has worked in the past and has worked right now so don't listen to these other people because they are telling lies and we really love our students

This school isn't good at all even with the title " Best middle school in the world" as a current student who has been here since 6th and now is In 7th that is a lie, the teachers only care about a paycheck, the counselor doesn't help and anytime a student go to them all they do is call parents for unnesscery things, they often suspend the wrong students and praise bullies and dont help the bullied the assistant principle constantly has an attitude with students and get mad when they give it back even tho she gives attitude. They don't do anything for children who get bullied and kept racist teachers before because " they couldn't afford it" they dont do anything for the kids and often give them diarrhea, headaches, stomach aches, and food poisoning, NO teacher in the school can do anything about the ac and often students are left either hot in there 1-hour class or cold. You get ISS ( IN SCHOOL SUSPENSION) for the dumbest reasons like punching a water bottle or speaking up for someone, and teachers cuss and have nothing done by it but when students cuss they get suspended or land in ISS, they dress code girls with curves but dont wanna dress code girls who dont, your child could have a small chest or no chest and wear a tank top with a jacket and not get dress coded but a girl with maybe some would get sent to ISS, they give boys more then the girls in the school and girls get touched by boys here and the school does nothing about it no one gets moved or their schedule changed or suspended and they don't realise students and if u are late u get detention even if its the teacher's fault, students get told to shut the f up and cussed at by teachers, and students often get depression here and teachers pick on students who have a hard time here i could go on and on about whats wrong with this school but please dont send ur child here, it'll be ur biggest mistake as a parent wether ur child tells u anything or not.

The Best Middle School in the World!-In name only. This school has a very bad reputation for violence and bullying going unchecked. Bullies are protected at this school. Most of the staff here come off as standoffish and rude. Some appear to only be here for a paycheck, but there are few here that are invested in their jobs. Please beware of this school.

My eldest daughter excelled academically at Fort for the whole 3 years she was in attendance BUT she was in both their magnet & gifted programs. The staff was always wonderful but the children were ill behaved & would be gravely distracting to a child who still struggles in 5th grade & already finds it difficult to focus (my soon-to-be middle schooler!). My eldest found it easy to ignore bullies & student fighting episodes & simply focused on preparing for high school. Not sure my other child can do that. As education is the goal, I will be looking into other schools for her. Overall we had a wonderful experience. Love the staff though! They work lovingly hard for their shepard's pay & it shows!

Fort Middle School is an EXCELLENT SCHOOL. We have wonderful, intelligent, beautiful, well-rounded, highly educated students - great parents and a very supportive and involved community. The faculty and staff members are hard working, caring, smart, dedicated, and always willing to go the extra mile. We educate the total child. We are Fort Middle School, The Best Middle School in the World!!! I am so proud to be a Patriot!!!!

I think is very sad when you find adults that has taken on a position in life to be leaders and to have you know what we consider a greater morals in life they have little ones that look up to them and yet they can be so mean well this is that school fort middle school the meanest staff I've ever met I thought Baker middle was something else but for it has taken the cake the women there a horrible they have no leadership they are not organized they have no punctuality they're very rude and they also have a habit of competing with negative words with the student is very upsetting to know that there are adults that are in this position in life that can hold a grudge on a child because of the parent because apparent is not afraid to speak of them on their wrong they forget that we are all humans and they think they're better than someone else but I'm just here to let you know please read the reviews because they're very true fort middle school is very very very bad school would not recommend it for anyone race or culture this school is chaos

Fort Middle School Columbus GA is garbage!!!! My child was jumped on twice and they did nothing about it but wanted to suspend my child. My child has never been in trouble EVER!!!! The people are ghetto!!!!! If your child dresses like garbage they will have friends falling at there feet but if your child dresses nice they will get attacked. Please please do not let your child go to this school it needs to be shut down!!!!!
