My son has attended SMMS since last year and has excelled. The teachers care about the children and do an amazing job with those students who want to learn. The science programs are phenomenal as well as their other curriculum and I am amazed that this school doesn't get the credit it deserves. They offer high school credit classes, Avid, and Advanced. Many extracurricular activities, clubs, and sports. Don’t let the neighborhood fool you. The building's exterior may be old, but it is still young at heart.

Concerned : my granddaughter is an A student , quiet , does not talk back,respectful, and in my eyes gets bullied by a dean. This particular dean has been like this both years my granddaughter has been at Stone..The school itself and teachers have been fine .

We chose to attend this school from out of area - the amount of clubs and extra curricular activities is amazing- the teachers are all very experienced and the administration is effective at maintaining a positive learning environment-we are glad we made this choice - the science research program is stellar as well as the avid program

This school is very good. They have a good education system and wonderful library on the campus. The AVID program is a great project and it can give you wonderful experiences. The students aren't very aware of the manners. But once you get to know them they aren't half bad. The dress code isn't enforced very well but overall its a good school in a bad location. - a 7th grader going into 8th grade

I was very leary when switching my children from Charter schools to public schools but I did not have any other option. My daughter has been at Stone for 2 years now and I love it and can not wait for my son to go there next year. All of the teachers and administration have been great. The school offers just the right balance of programs for all different learning levels. The AVID program is prepareing the students now school wide for a college education and even if they chose not to attend college the orgainizational skills can be used throught out everyday life. I tell everyone the same thing-never judge a book by its cover!!

I used to fear having my children attend any public school. They started out at an expensive private school until they were in 1st and 3rd grade when we could no longer afford the tuition. My son is now in 7th grade at Stone and he loves it. The staff is excellent, parent involvement is very very high, and I know he is getting a quality education. I feel that he is quite safe there. I don't live in the surrounding neighborhood but I think of it as a neighborhood just like any other. I also attended Stone myself in the '80s. It is an excellent school and anyone who is wondering, I would encourage them to do the research, talk to Stone parents, and not believe negative hearsay or comments from people who too afraid to venture outside of their gated community to recognize that this is a great school. Every encounter I've had with the staff and other parents has given me only positive feelings that this is a school that cares about its students in a community that also cares.

Despite what others may think about Stone, because of its location, it is a fantastic school. All of the teachers love their jobs and enjoy teaching. I am an 8th grader in the Science and Technology Choice Program and both the 7th and 8th grade choice teachers are wonderful. The work is challenging enough to make you think, but not that hard that you will get really stressed over it. The academic programs are challenging and suits your needs. The principal has really done this school good and the staff greets anybody who walks in the front office and helps students with anything that they need. There hasn't been any lock downs at this school since I have been here. The guidance counslers help you with anything that you need and they will try to be there for you when you need to talk to them. The extra-curricular activities include: National Junior Honor Society, Beta Club, History Club, Track, Basketball for both girls and boys, and Spanish Club. The elective teachers our great and there are a variety of electives that you could take spanning from Gym to Drama. Stone MS is a wonderful school and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great middle school to go to!
