Harlem middle school, let me think... Well 2015 was 2014 and it was 2013. so what should I talk…read moreabout? Well recently I've been doing a bunch of research on the building found out that it was being used as the high school before it was actually a middle school. With millions of kids that I've gone in and out of that school year by year by year! I mean I basically mean nothing to the school by how many people go through it. I'm sure there's going to be people looking at this review in 2020 and stuff thinking that it was boring in 2015 but for us everything is getting better and better and better, well kind of. We've gotten computers, Internet, and my favorite, student wifi! But there could be looking at this review that went to school here in 1980 seeing how different it is. Besides all of that, The teachers are getting nicer and nicer. I've had mean teachers last year that it is getting replaced by nicer teachers! it's becoming a better place and just being awesome. I remember coming into seventh grade and being scared of everything, but now it's just like whatever. Now the computers are getting replaced the laptops, and the laptops are getting replaced with chrome books! I'm just trying to think back in so when they had really old stuff! Speaking of really old stuff they have TVs that we watched channel 1 news on every day that look like they're from maybe the 60s! They turn on and just give them horrible noise like a dog whistle. The Internet speeds are up to 150 Mbps on the download speed and 70 on the upload speed. That's for the next few generations that gets smarter than us ;) I am not going to miss elementary school but I'm gonna miss this school. By Harlem middle school! x Justin 2013-2015

Belvidere High School. In the four and a half years I've been there I have been shot down by…read moreamminstrators, accused of things I had not done, been called "dumbass" by one of the teachers (Shopski) for asking a question about an assignment, picked on by the vice principal (Pate), and ignored by teachers who I've needed help from. I've only come across a few good teachers in the school who take the time to guide me to a brighter future (Ex: Andy Werhane, Stewart Bahling, Dan Koenings, Danelle Johnson, David Allen, Jon Hannel, and Shahrazad Sheikhali, Michelle Helgeson). I have had many teachers over these years but only a select few have actually done their job. Teaching should be about helping students learn new ways to think. Instead we're stuck memorizing words and definitions. Today I was accused of skipping classes this semester when I have not once skipped a single class. I've seen students getting bullied and nothing said or done about it. Last week I stepped up and stopped a bully from attacking another student. The administration does absolutely nothing and most of them aren't even qualified for their jobs. I wish the best for this school as I am finishing in December and I really hope the school does something about the majority of their teachers and amminstrators being low quality and disrespectful to students. I am not one to write reviews online but I had to go to the extent of creating a Yelp account to show my disgratitude towards this place of education.

The faculty does care a lot. Teachers definitely push your student to try his or her hardest. The…read moreprincipal and vice principal will work with you and your student--should problems arise--in order to come to a satisfying solution for both conflicting parties. RMS sends home a password to their "Parent Portal" program which allows you and your student to look over grades without having to wait for midterms or emails from teachers. There are very few elective classes (if any); however, there are honors classes that function very similar to AP classes. The classes for each grade's section (West and East) are bunched into a single hallway, so once your student reaches high school, he or she might be a bit frightened at the distance between classes.

If I could rate this stupid ass school -5 stars, I would. I was here in 8th grade, it was one of…read morethe worst experiences of my life. One of the teachers noticed my recent self harm marks and asked about it and when I said it was just cat scratches they didn't say anything about it or contact anyone, even though it was obviously self harm marks. The only time I was called to the counselor's was when I said I hated this school and the counselor apparently had to email my mom about it. I was bullied here and when my mom told the teacher of the class I was being bullied in, they told my friends even though my mom specifically had told them not to tell anyone, this was especially bad because the bully was one of my 'friends'. I would also get physically harassed in that class, and none of the teachers noticed. The teachers would yell at us and give us way too much homework, I'm in high school now and I get way less homework than I did then. When I was failing in my classes nobody contacted my mom, she had to check on a website for the school. The rules were also very strict, you only could drop off and get your stuff from your locker (which you had to use) in only about 5 minutes. They strictly did not allow phones and if they saw you with it, it would be an immediate detention. They so desperately tried to make the school fun, with half assed events and drawings to get candy of you did something 'good out of the ordinary' which almost nobody got and nobody wanted. In gym class they would overwork you too much and circle jog oh circle jog, the golden star of gym class. Circle jog is an activity that we had to do all week or just one/two days of the week, circle jog is were you jog around the gym to a song that often has a 1-3 minute guitar solo. Most of the students after the jog were exhausted but if you started walked during circle jog you would be yelled at and points would be taken off for participation that day. Circle jog was also unnecessarily long and everyone and I tell you EVERYONE absolutely hated circle jog. I think that's it for now. Before I go I have one last thing to say, fuck you Roscoe Middle School.
