Some of the teachers are deliberately mean, to all students. Their communication is not good, they tend to forget to email, then expect kids and families to know. I have seen a lot of kids struggle especially after COVID, and the school does little to help their individual needs. There are tons of fights and a lot of recalls slurs that get thrown around with little recourse. It’s not the kind of school they try to portray themselves to be.

I am very disappointed in this school /bullying and discrimination against my children has continued for 2 years / children are subject to discrimination and bullying / the administration does not take measures to solve problems / children are constantly provoked into fights and there are threats to beat them after school / fear and panic they don’t allow you to study at school / it’s very difficult to find a school, the schools are overcrowded / the school will not take measures to solve these problems with children provocateurs / please note that your children will be safe in this school /

This school is not ok. They are telling kids to wear shorts to PE even if they say no, they don't have modest options for people who want to cover up more and the teachers do not care. People get bullied but the staff does nothing about it. Other kids also make racial jokes for fun and think it's so funny. Is this the type of school you want your children attending?

This school is not as good as it once was in the past. My son has severe anxiety. He has been sick a lot throughout the year. The school has no sympathy for what he is going through. I get it that attendance is a state mandate but the school seems to only care about the #'s , not the students. my son was sick today and in the nurses office. The school's counselor went in to tell him that he needed to get a note from his doctor so it was considered an excused absence. I JUST had a conversation with her about how anxious my son is and she decides to make him more anxious by telling him this. I am livid. No one has brought up the fact that he could have a 504 because of his anxiety disorder. They just say that mental health issues do not qualify for as a reason for frequent absences (there's actually a form that you can have a doctor fill out for any physical issues). I plan on investigating this further before giving up. I strongly dislike this school. Oh - and while my son was throwing up in the bathroom, the Assistant Principal walked in and told him to hurry up. Not checking to see if he is okay or anything.

My overall experience would most likely be below one star. This school is not an environment where parents can trust the teachers to effectively guard their children and keep them from emotional and physical trauma. Your child's mental health will be put at risk by the racism, harassment, and bullying that is present on campus.

My child has been going here. He has been complaining of the kids making racist comments to him and also calling really bad names. The school dooes not seem to take it seriously. Just frustrated to see my kid having to go through this.

Chilton is an amazing middle school for the West Roseville area! Jeff Ancker is a very personable and enthusiastic principal who leads an amazing staff of knowledgable and dedicated teachers. The staff always go above and beyond for my 8th grader and the small school environment is just perfect for her. For such a small school, they offer so many great opportunities and bullying and other bad behaviors are rare and dealt with immediately. Overall, I can say enough how great it is to have this school in the neighborhood!
