Im a nice student here, but one thing is that the teachers have a severe lack of... Empathy. And they say were all about respect! They cut you off and are very, VERY cheesy. And one of them even took my sarcastic insult. Honestly though, Mr. Alaskas pretty cool.

Great school. From other reviews till now (6-12 months ago) the school has changed. Im in 6th, and my teachers are pretty nice and dont assign too much homework. Lunch provides tons of choices and snacks. My only problem: make the passing period 6-8 minutes long.

If I had zero stars I would give it to them. the counselor could give zero cares about respecting parents wishes or making the middle school experience a positive one for the families. She is rude and abrupt. She is disrespectful and nonvalidating in parents wishes. She will disregard requests for a meeting and pull your child in to question them without your presence despite a request for a meeting. Beware!!!! This school administration will bully you AND your child and then pretend they are saving your child. Most crooked and broken system I have ever had the displeasure of interfacing with. They have too many students and underpaid staff. Do everything you can to avoid this abhorrent administration.

Most of the reviews on this school are from disgruntled children taking out the unfairness of getting in trouble by writing reviews hoping it will somehow alleviate there pain. Honestly the school is pretty great 6th grade was amazing and 7th is cool as well. The staff is friendly and very helpful. If your looking to send your child here I would wholeheartedly encourage you to do so.

This school is honestly so bad, the teachers are so disrespectful and rude. they are more of bullies than students are. they are not understanding of anything, the staff are plain rude and care nothing about you. when you are having issues they care nothing about it. honestly a terrible school.

If you love the pain of existing this is the place for you. Everything is stressful. I also heard my worst enemy from Mrs.trautners class from academy endeavour in 5th grade is transferring here. Stay away kid, I don’t need my life to be any worse

About to send third child to MRMS. For the first child, we considered other middle schools in the district; all had one specialty or another. When we asked what MRMS was special for, they told us that their goal was well-rounded students. Their IB program helps students excel in all academic areas, plus students must have either French or Spanish, and arts experiences such as band, choir, drawing, or drama. They have exploratory classes instead of electives, though students do get to choose a language and if they are in a performing group.Positive experience for our IEP child and for our TAG child. Teachers make themselves available before or after school at least a few days each week, and most are quick to respond to email. Lots of great extra curricular activities from sports to clubs.Closest elementary school is Academy International, and feeds to Rampart High, both of which are also IB.

It is so awesome! My daughter is in 6th grade and is loving it . She has gotten to so so many awesome things.

Worst school ever. I went to the counselor about stress issues and she said get over it. Teachers bully the students, and are disrespectful. They treat students like slaves, as they ask them to buy markers and colored pencils for the teachers. The grading system is crap because they take a week to put in assignments, and the counselors call the students with learning disabilities retarded. I would recommend never getting involved with this school.

The school is amazing! everything is perfect except for the councilors

Absolutely abysmal.Here is a list of all my bad experiences with the administrative staff/counselors, as a student who was once at Mountain Ridge Middle School:1. Staff do not take students mental illnesses seriosuly, and play it off as stress. (Coming from a kid who was diagnosed with deppresion and anxiety during 7th grade) They also do not attempt to keep in touch with you after the first few meetings. In fact, the staff member I was talking to was venting to ME instead of the opposite way around. (Comparing their work stress to my social/general anxiety)2. Wasting your class time by pulling you out of class at random intervals. Instead of setting up a specific time with my parents and I to talk, they just pulled me out of class on random days at random times. I know every kid loves the opportunity to skip class, but it always ended up making me fall behind. It wouldn’t be as bad if it didn’t happen EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.The worst time was accidentally being taken out of a suicide psa type thing going on in one of my classes, aka something that would’ve been nice to be there for as a mentally and emotionally unstable kid dealing with suicidal thoughts and similar minded friends. I wasn’t even told why I got pulled out, and later FOUND out after missing class that some kid’s parent had opted their kid out of that class for the day but they ended up switching me out instead. Later on that week, I missed ANOTHER full class just so they could apologize to me. Are you absolutely f****ing kidding me.3. Enforcing the dress code and no-showing-affection-to-each-other-in-the-hall rules are more important than dealing with bullies.Self-explanatory, every kid from this school will most likely tell you the same thing.Of course I have my stories of bad teachers, but the staff are the real problem.The staff don’t even want to be there, so neither shoud you. They only care about the mental health of your kid once it starts affecting them. And by then your kid is already slicing into their wrists. A few teachers were good, but the administration... don’t trust them with your kids.They always said highschool would be difficult, but compared to what I refer to as “the Mountain Ridge hell hole”... highschool is undoubtedly better.

I have been at that school for almost 3 years now and frankly their are more cons then pros. In 6th grade I used to get bullied every day people would call me names and stuff. My parents met with the counselor and all she said was “Oh, we’ll talk to him” and guess what it continued and the counselors are very invasive to and have no need to be. Then 7th grade honestly that was a great year I was on team 731 and the teachers were really great and at times ya homework could be a bit much but not consistently. Then where I am right now 8th grade has come by and I had started to notice that the special ed teachers are really rude and have no reason to be I think they need payed for more because they have a hard job I know one nice one the rest are really rude. Then their the teachers for 8th grade. Their is no middle ground between nice and rude. And with some of our teachers we get packets of homework every night I have been spending from 4 let’s say 40 to the normal amount 1 o’clock I will admit I have a 20 min break here and their but we are supposed to have 80 minutes and I have way to much. I had to get out of soccer because I would have no time and I can’t do any sports because of how long homework takes. Then their is lunch yes their is variety but no quality. But some of the teachers I have give us no time to collaborate in groups and the whole time it’s “Be Quiet” and doesn’t even teach us he gives way to much homework to I even complained to mrs. Collarelli about it. Also about the amount of work in French but they do nothing . If you want a school with way to much structure and no room for creativity then I think you found it but I have been to multiple schools but never been bullied/had has much homework/ or cried/ even been yelled at by a teacher then when I went to this school. If their was one thing this school need to fix the most are two things homework and teachers attitudes because school is hard enough without teachers making it worse. We don’t want to be their either. Thanks for your time :).

Its is an average school. Dont listen to the angry kids that are reviewing it, they just think that they are slick.

As a student leaving this year, this school had a lot of ups and downs. My sixth grade experience felt the least aggressive from the teachers, but around this year in eighth grade two of my four primary teachers were either very monotone and felt like they dragged on, while the other, notably, had a student pulled from his class because he told the student to Stop being weird and that hell never make friends that way (mind you thats none of the teachers business so yeah)Secondly, the counselor assigned to the 2013-2016 group was pestersome. She can be rude and actually be offensive at times but her one most visible quality is that she is the only one enforcing the majority of rules. She can target certain students (or groups) and always tell them that theyre doing wrong, like my group, but in general any other teacher will make their uncaring attitude obvious as they brush past.In general, there are nice things to do. When the school can muster up enough money, they often splurge and get field trips to places like Eliches or buy new teaching devices, but overall they are a very messy, uncomfortable school and the system is something any logical parent shouldnt force their child into. (Dont go for Challenger though, that place is a breeding ground for drop-outs)

Lol xd rawr dis school=nah

Yo its ya boi. idk kinda normal

Its a great school with great techers

Honestly ass, food, teachers (except Abbott and if guinto is still there, they’re still good) but yeah, honestly bad

I would have to say this school doesnt provide the right help or guidance that people need.The workers are overall rude and disrespectful.I would never send a child here for their education.

I hate everything about this it sux dieeeeeee
