this school has to be the worst school I have ever been to in my entire life the staff are rude the food is hardly eatable and all the kid do is sleep in their classes. Not to mention this school is dirty unorganized and unfit to welcome children. Also, the year has been a disaster the WIFI is always down a bus hit 3 buses filled with kids in one day and all the students are not learning anything. There have been countless fights this year between students and all the staff look tired and ready to go home. If I could rate this school 0 stars I would

During my time at this school, teachers were not enthusiastic about teaching. In fact, their main concerns were meeting test scores. These teachers would often take their frustrations out on students which was extremely unfair. This is not a safe space for children.

I love sending my kids here. They come home, with the brightest stories to tell. The teachers here are also the best people around. I’ve had 4 kids go through bingham so far, and two more to go. Definitely love this place

The teachers are wonderful! My son is in 7th A Pod there this year. He has such great stories about what learns there everyday. My son puts everything into his school work & is a great leader thanks to Bingham's staff.Highly recommend Bingham Middle School!

My son was in the seventh grade this year and we have never had a real complaint with any school, however after this experience we are taking him out and sending him to a private school . It is really unfortunate that there is a serious communication breakdown occurring within the school. You can send emails, you can make phone calls to teachers secretaries counselors and rest assured, no one will call you back . Not even regarding a health problem that your child is suffering from which appears to be affecting his grades. It is a huge disappointment. I have been a teacher for many years and worked in education for nearly 20 and I find this cool completely on acceptable .

This school is really more of a prison. We would give it a lower score than "One Star" if that were available. If you have ANY OTHER OPTIONS for educating your middle school children, use them. We have removed our children permanently.

According to the following website http://www.isdschools.org/middle-school-alignment/ "Bingham Middle School will house grades 7 and 8 and will align with the William Chrisman High School boundaries." My experience with Bingham has been pretty positive. They get most things right most of the time. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The building is clean and well maintained. The lunches are decent.
