Grace E. Metz Middle School Reviews

 
This school is amazing and a great learning experience for 7th and 8th graders

Many of the parents that criticize the teachers at Metz seem to have little understanding as to what teachers are faced with on a day to day basis. To respond to the negative comment about teachers seemingly misusing their two planning periods a day,teachers spend much of that time in meetings with administration, parents, and other teachers, and have very little if no time whatsoever to actually plan curriculum. For parents that say communication is nonexistent, teachers at Metz have a policy to never deny parents conferences soon before, during, and shortly after school.Some parents, however, seem to feel as if they are the only parents to whom teachers must communicate.They should keep in mind that teachers are dealing with the parents of at least one hundred students,not to mention the students themsselves,many of whom spend more time during the week with their teachers than they do with their parents.

This school has barely any structure. The staff does next-to-nothing, if anything, to prevent and stop bullying. They *say* that they are doing all they can to make the school safe. Wrong!

I am a former student of Metz and I enjoyed going to this school very much. There are very good relationships between the teachers and he students. The BEhavior of the students is very under control and has a very friendly staff!

The safety of the students is a definate issue at this school. The teachers, for the most part, simply do their job and walk away. There is little to no caring about the actual success of each student. The principal does not return phone calls nor does she willingly meet with parents. It seems just a few quality teachers are carrying the load for all. With two planning periods a day, you would think the quality of instruction would be better. As far as school safety is concerned, it seems to be a non-issue for the school administration.

I'm really scared about sending my child here. The teachers arn't the best and there has to be more activities.
