Public schools are given bad reputations because of schools like this one. Stockbridge Middle School lacks the basics needed to provide a safe and secure environment for children to learn. I said children because that is what they are, they are not young adults, they are not leaders, they are children. The administration is a joke. They have no real resources available to them to implement better measures for education and safety, and they do not use their voices to fight for these causes. They know exactly what they need and don't know how to obtain it. REMOVE THE CELLULAR DEVICES FROM THE SCHOOLS, ACTUAL CONSEQUENCES FOR DISRUPTION, AND ZERO TOLERANCE FOR BULLYING. If you decide to visit the school, you will not be greeted warmly or welcoming at all. You are a burden to them. Students do not go to school to learn anymore; this is a social gathering and free daycare. If you pick any classroom to audit, you will find 1. overcrowded classrooms with poor ratios of students to teachers, 2. 60% of the students are being disruptive in some matter, 3. of the 40% that remain half of those have given up on even paying attention, due to the disruption of the other kids, 4. the remaining 20% of students are either really smart and don't require much guidance, and or teachers' favorites. The majority of fights occur in the bathrooms and or cafeteria. They know this, so why not monitor these areas during higher exposure times like lunchtime? Fights that occur in classrooms are 100% preventable if the teacher is paying attention to the students instead of just spitting information to the oblivious. These are teachers that just show up to work- because they know the administration that supports them has no backbone to implement actual consequences.

Not good at all. Administration is of no help and some of the counselors are more of a problem than help. Communication is terrible. There is no control at all in this school, I am very disappointed!!!!!!!

I have nothing but good things to say about SMS, as I am a 7th grade parent there. I had many of my son's friends in 6th grade go to another school because of somethings that were said about the school, but you don't knock it until you try it! He has had nothing but a great team of teachers and administration. As we are relocating to another state, it will be hard to replace such great people as the ones at SMS. Go Tigers!

Stockbridge Middle School is a great school with a new team of dedicated administrators as well as teachers. This school gets a bad rep due to the fact that many of the students lack work ethic and don't always work to their potential. Parents of students of this school need to become more involved with the school and activities in order to help students work to their full potential and put forth quality work. Parental involvement and student accountability is needed to help this school go from ok to exceptional.
