Since mine was the last review of Chaloner Middle School, and that was 2017, it is time for an update.Chaloner has remained a more coherent learning environment on the whole, but that was probably most facilitated by COVID-19 and school closings in March 2020. 2018-2019 saw a revolving door of principals with the one standing at the end of the year winning the prize. Fall of 2019 was in turmoil as she set about assert her ideas of fine management dispensing with working systems, schedules, and proven teaching practices. Returning to work after the school closings was a joy at begin able to teach in new ways using what we learned we COULD do with digital instruction. Yet, there was a constant harping that we would teach using online platforms as long as we HAD to, but that the only acceptable education format was face-to-face without masks. Learning has continued at Chaloner due to a faculty who rallies wonderfully to the task despite the appointed leadership. The positive factors in this updated review reflect my respect for my colleagues and the clientele, not administration and supervisory teams.

I've been a part of the Roanoke Rapids / Chaloner community for almost 15 years and have seen vast improvements in the school climate, discipline standards, teaching practices, and administrative support. Chaloner Middle School faces certain challenges with diversity, equity, and in general - seeing student interactions as clearly as the students see those interactions themselves. For the most part teachers are caring individuals who want to see students grow intellectually and in character.15 years ago discipline was very rough - not because it wasn't addressed, but it seemed a rougher clientele and student body. I don't know that those things have changed much in the community, but it is a much quieter, coherent, and orderly atmosphere. For an educational institution, Chaloner is working hard to accomplish what an education institution is designed to do. You will find many students who will cherish the middle school years - and by the same token, you will find those who would choose to skip 6,7,8 and move on with life.

This school has made me depressed and suicidal. I hate this school they don't teach me right, I have add (attention deficit disorder) and I am a little forgetful. I told my mom not to right those things about me on the sign up sheet so people would treat me the same as the others, but then they pick on me for how I look and dress. I at least want to be home schooled.
