Talley is a great school. It’s just sometimes I feel like most staff doesn’t give us students a break. I think the rules are ridiculous. Not being able to eat in class is pretty dumb. If I kid hasn’t ate anything all day, You’re saying they aren’t allowed to eat? That’s just a dumb rule. The cursing rule is dumb. My parents let me curse but only around my friends. I NEVER curse around any staff in the building. I respect the staff for what they do and treat with the most of respect. Now if you curse AT an adult, Then yeah you should be suspended. But if you’re cursing around your FRIENDS then you shouldn’t be suspended. Everyone curses at this school and you can’t punish just one kid for it. The cell phone rule is dumb. I mean we can have our chromebooks but we can’t have any other electronics? Other than that, the school seems fine. I’m in 8th grade and about to finish my years at this middle school. It’s really sad because i’ve made so many friends and so many memories at this school. And it’s almost time to say goodbye for now to all those friends and memories.

I went here for Middle School and it was the worst years of my life! I got bullied everyday and I would go to the teachers and guidance counselors, they could really care less. This school had fights almost every day as well. I definitely do not recommend this school. It's hard to pay attention and learn when you're always getting picked on and the staff does nothing about it.

I’d rate my experience at school underwhelming because of the lack of caring by the teachers. They’re there only for a paycheck and do not care about students future.

Talley is a caring school with wonderful teachers and an awesome administrative team. The students are engaged and the test scores show it.
