I'm a student here and have been at this school for 2 years. I will be going to high school soon. My experience here has not been great. When I first came here in 6th grade everything was chill. teachers were great, the students on the other hand were very disrespectful. Nine times out of ten the students are given Lunch reflection but still keep up the same behavior. I really do like the program here. The Art's program here is great as well as the elective classes. Teachers don't really go above and beyond to fix disruptive or disrespectful students. Staff here also don't really put in the effort to help us learn. Seventh grade is a lot worse and I can't imagine how 8th grade will be. In my Seventh grade experience, I always see students fighting or bullying as well as trying to make you feel like you are a nobody. When fights happen teachers do not put in the effort to try to stop them. Many eighth-graders vape in the bathroom as well as damage school property. Admin here is not too great. Admin don't put in the effort to punish kids who have behavior issues. For example this student threw a foot ball at many other students intentnianly to try to harm them. I report that situation to staff, and admin was contacted. When admin took a look at CCTV all they had to say was, "They were just playing football" The fact that bothered me the most is that they didn't even try to talk to kids whole saw the whole situation to try to resolve this issue. Right now I'm dealing with a student being very disrespectful twards me and calling me rude slurs. I'm contacting Head Admin to try to reslve this beacuse clearly an In-School-Suspension was not enough. If staff does not try to resolve this I will have to talk to the School Board and most likly wont end well for the student and staff member. Overall I really would advise you to stay away from this school and to choose any other school in the area!

Cada día que mi hijo va a esta escuela me da miedo, me ha comentado de las peleas que hay en los baños, pasillos del comportamiento de calle de muchos "niños " qué van ahi inclusive unos ya fumando. Ya no lo veo con nada de ganas de terminar en esta escuela, Padres si buscan una buena Escuela donde no exista todo lo mencionado esta no lo es.

Honestly I loved ever second of it. They have great teachers and classes. The only issue I see is that the 6th grade vice principal is mean or strict but cool other wise. I definitely recommend this school.

This school is great! I don’t know how ppl can write reviews when they don’t even go to the school but the school is great on bullying, homework and has gained control of the students! Also great culture diversity...strongly recommend this school!

As a parent, I was very disappointed. I received a voicemail from one of my sons teachers about policy and him running in the hallway, and if he does it again there will be ASD. Now I had to address an incident about him being what the students call (pantsed) at school. His pants being pulled down by another student. The only thing staff can tell me is that is was probably just a joke, boys being boys, but they do take it seriously. Hmmmm. Couldn't get any definite answers or school policy on that. I had to explain to my son there was no school policy, when he asked me in tears,"what is the school gonna do about that?"

Do not send your child to this school. Do a lot research about this school and you will figure out why.

If you bring up your concerns for your child, not sure if admin or the teachers truly look into the concerns. You have to keep reminding them that there are issues that need to be resolved or your child will not succeed or feel comfortable. Some teachers need to open their eyes better to see what some kids are trying to get away with that could get them suspended or hurt a peer.

Two of my children attended East Millbrook and my experience was mixed. Both of my sons went there for the arts and came away with greater interests and skills. My first son attended 4 years ago and had a mix of art classes that most middle schools don't offer. My second son attended last year and took drawing and advanced art. He learned to draw, paint murals, build theater sets, and was offered a chance at going to Europe. I have mixed feelings about the school because of the behavior of some of the students on campus. I read recently that the school is creating an Arts Academy, maybe this will breathe life into a school that has great opportunities that are overshadowed student behavior.

My daughter goes to this school and it has been a great experience. The staff and teachers really care and the range of programs that is offered to students expands their minds to other possiblities of careers. We love East millbrook!!

The majority of the kids at this school are out of control, which makes it an unsafe environment for those students who go to school to learn.

I have been at East Millbrook for three years now and I loved my experience overall! If you are thinking about enrolling here, enroll! The arts program is great and so is the IB program. Those are just a few good highlights that this school provides and you just won't get these programs from other schools.

This school is HORRIBLE! I have two children that have attended this school and our experiences were absolutely horrible. As a parent you want the best for your child, THIS school IS NOT it. Some teachers have a "I don't have time to deal with this" or "It's not my responsibility" type attitude, the admins are absolutely two-faced, half do not know what certain protocols are suppose to be in place when asked by a parent and say whatever to appease you. ALL children learn differently as well as adults and it's a set standard of teaching no adjustments are made for certain children. Stereotypes are at an all time high, to get situations handle are like pulling teeth. Administration give excuses, and will say anything to save their jobs. My children had been bullied almost everyday and when they told the teacher about it, the bullying, name calling, and constant peer pressure worsened when the teachers weren't around. I am bewildered at how Admin told me that my children needed to come and tell them for they have no tolerance for bullying, but the school has at least 1-2 fights at the school A DAY!!! What is a child to do if they do admin or teachers and it makes it worse????

I LOVEEEE East Millbrook Middle!! . I made a bunch of friends. Also there are many cultures that enrolled in this middle school. I recommend that more students enroll in this school. There are three 6th grade teams: Lions(my team), the Tigers team, and the panthers. The teachers are nice, however a few teachers( I'm not gonna mention them ) that can be a bit annoying and very difficult( homework wise). Other than that, East Millbrook Magnet Middle School is the best middle school EEVVEERR!!!!!

East Millbrook is an International Baccalaureate (IB) and A+ for Creative Arts Magnet Middle School. Our dual magnet program is available to all students, our base population and student that apply to attend. Students at our school are exposed to rigorous academic curriculum and superior fine and creative arts program. Our students love the diverse population and teachers that are committed to their success. I love East Millbrook and believe that additional funds will strengthen our STEM (Science, technology, engineering and mathematic) especially the technology component -- more computer equipment for our dynamic students.
