School Reviews麻豆果冻传媒>2 3/27/2020I went to this school in sixth grade, but I had to switch out because of the overcrowded areas and bullying. I have severe social anxiety, so the almost ever-present press of bodies overwhelmed me. I couldn't focus in class because I was anticipating how to deal with the swell of human contact and teenage funk, which was reflected in the fall of my grades. I wasn't bullied as bad as some of my friends were. Also, I have heard from a friend who still goes there that there have been two arrests made, an expulsion, several suspensions, and a possible pregnancy. This is a middle school with some serious problems. However, as a result of the misbehavior, the school has locked down heavier security, which is beneficial for its improvement. I'm in high school now, so the school may have changed in the time I've been away, but it will take some serious consideration to send your child there.1 3/26/2020This school only wants u to do good so they get money. Garbage teachers and trash staff. The food was a dead animal throw in boiling water than served.5 2/26/2018Awesome teachers. They teach well. Elective are fun. Best school. Students will have fun. They want your sucess.5 7/6/2015This school is amazing. Although there may be space for slight improvements, the teachers can have a connection with the students and their morals fit closely with student's morals. The students there are smart, and unlike some other schools, they give academic benefits to those who are fit. Students get along nicely, and my daughter was new in the 7th grade, and found friends that are genuinely good people. My daughter, coming from a Denver school, loved the academics and effort of the teachers and had the opportunity to show her musical talent. Electives are committed to the education of creativity of the students and the teachers had thorough knowledge in their departments. This is an overall great school!Review Fox Ridge Middle School.
