Magothy River Middle School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2009-06-13 “Though test scores are great here the atmosphere for students is stifling. The administration is strict and punishes the whole student body for the actions of a few. My child was unable to flourish and grow because she was so afraid of breaking a rule. Security and safety of the students is important but this school has gone overboard. Very disappointed.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-12-23 “It is a wonderful school! I dont have to worry about my son because I know he will be safe at this school, and that is a great feeling. I am also apart of the parent and involvment and there are many other parents with me that put so much effort into making the school the best! And for the extracurricular activites, there are many clubs and organizatons the kids have to option to do. There is also activity buses that provide a ride home.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2007-08-04 “My daughter went here for three years. They have great math and science programs, but they need to work on their language arts and social studies programs.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 2 2007-08-04 “Way too strict of an administration. Nice teachers, but the actual teaching could be much better.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2007-05-08 “I am very happy with the teachers, less so with the Administration: in my opinion, it is very strict with good kids,but rather weak with the real bullies.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 2 2007-04-09 “Nice teachers, but the administrtion is way too stict.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2007-03-09 “Bad administration.Building old and needs work.Spend way too much time preparing for tests. overloads of homework.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2004-03-03 “Administration is terrible. Support for individual students is non-existent. Teachers do not return letters, phone calls. Most do not help children who have been sick and need to make up work, instead they simply fail. If your child can survive in this atmosphere they will do fine in life ! For MRMS is the toughest test so far. Be prepared for major surprises at report time, for you will receive no communication about your child's progress until it's too late to help their grades. My experience in PA was like night and day to this school. No excuse for the lack of support. Get a sign outside the school like SRMS, it might just start improving some communications with parents.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2003-09-20 “Administration is weak - teaching staff is strong and superb. Math department excels.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2003-07-12 “I was not pleased with the atmosphere at Magothy; I did not find the administration (under the former principal) to be student friendly or helpful to new students. I asked the guidance department repeatedly to include my child in a buddy program, but did not receive any assistance from the guidance counselor. When calling the office, I always felt like my calls were an intrusion on the secretary's time; I did not feel like my child's welfare was a top priority. Standardized test scores, and not student welfare, seem to be the primary concern at MRMS.”
