This school has been nothing short of great for my daughter and all of her friends. There is nothing negative to be said about the school as a whole.

Very Positive - Madras is night and day different for our family over our son's previous middle school.

This school looks pretty good on paper because of the demographics and socioeconomic status of the student body. I do not believe it is an emotionally healthy environment, and I strongly believe that many of the teachers have lost their love for children and their effectiveness as educators. If I could turn back time, I would make a better choice. My kids were not prepared for high school, and their self esteems suffered while they attended Madras. I know the middle school years are rough, but it was beyond that. I always supported the teachers, and I now wish I'd been a better advocate for my children instead. Parents, LISTEN to your kids and trust your gut. If a child who has always loved school and done well begins to hate school and struggle, make a change.

I am a student at Madras Middle, and it has been nothing but encouraging and heart changing. Ever since the first day I felt at home, Madras has just set a warm, welcoming environment. The teachers are very striving, they always work hard to make sure their students succeed and understand each and every topic. They are always open to questions from parents and students, and always try to respond in a timely manner. The school is very strict on their bullying policy, bullying is simply not aloud no matter what situation. It is never ok to mistreat others by what they cannot control, what they are able to afford, or simply because you are having a bad day. No matter what situation bullying is never the option. Madras always leads by example, and has helped me realize the true meaning to RISE R(respect) I(integrity) S(safety) E(empathy), as long as you can commit to these 4 core values everything will be easier and the world will become better one person at a time. I recommend Madras to all, I really enjoy coming to school everyday, its as though learning has become a time to progress academic wise and as a person.

It seems as though some of the teachers at Madras are only there for a paycheck. My daughter's teachers constantly pick on her, seems like they are more concerned with what she's wearing vs teaching. They stay off topic of school work, and talk too much about their personal family life. She's just transitioned into middle school, and the team she's on makes it impossible for her to adjust from elementary. I've had one teacher tell her to tell her parents not to email her about the student's grade, really??!! Checking for understanding while teaching is a thing of the past. My daughter and myself feel as though her teachers don't care about the students.

This is my son's last year. We have had 2 great years so far at Madras. The teachers have been on top if his grades. They have involved me in everything about him. We moved here from Buford, GA which has excellent schools. I was worried this school could not compare to those schools however it has and much better. The teachers are very involved with students. This is an excellent school with great test scores.

I agree with other posters about the administration of this school. It seems teachers feel threatened and not supported by administration. Several teachers have left in recent years because of this. This used to be a great school in the past but is certainly not now or will not be until things change with administration.
