This school strong has a strong discipline policy, i.e. silent lunch, In-School Suspension. It can put parents off, but I believe it is a necessary evil. This is a large county school grades 6-8. Students from all walks of life attend here (during puberty - need I say more). The teachers for the most part do a good job of instructing the children. I believe parents have a responsibility to develop their children's character prior to this age.

Most of the time the students complete homework at school...so is it really homework?

Absolutely NOT, most of them tear the students down not build them up. They have no compassion for those that are struggling and they talk awful to the kids and expect to be respected. If you ask any of 1200+ kids or their parents how they like Hancock Middle, majority of them would tell you that they hate it.

I've seen better. They do not show leadership, they promote the bully system.

Again, absolutely NOT. Most of them hate their jobs or the students and they usually have favorites. The "help" they give is very little and it shows. The kids feel like its a prison and the teachers and staff don't care about them anyway. They can't even go talk to the guidance counselor if they need to. They are told no and to sit down.

AWFUL!! I can't wait for my kid to get out. If I had another option I would take it.

There is none. The kids in this school district will not be prepared for college. Homework is almost NON-EXISTANT. I have never seen a school district give so many chances to make up or retake tests but they are all about scores. They don't even check the homework. My daughter answered questions on her history or science test with the answer written down as "CHICKEN NUGGETS" to see if the teacher ever checked the work because she didn't think they did. Guess what, she got a 100 on the test! If they don't check the homework or tests correctly how do I know my child is learning what she is supposed to? They DO NOT CARE ABOUT EDUCATING THE CHILDREN.

A big percentage of the teachers do not care about all the students. They are very inconsistent and have no compassion for those that are struggling. They talk awful to the kids like they are some trash off the street and expect to be respected. Most of them, hate kids and it shows. They get write ups for the most ridicules things Ive ever heard of.

My children have been treated very fairly. I have never had a problem with the teachers being dishonest with my kids. This school expects the children to their best.

This school has been amazing with my children. It has some problems from time to time but over all it has been a wonderful school and the teachers are great!

I honestly feel the teachers hate there job and children. They are constantly disciplining and handing out "silent lunch" why don't they start using positive reinforcement. The office staff is always grouchy and I feel don't want to be there. Why don't they let some enthusiastic positive teachers work there who actually like children.

I just removed my child from this school because he was being bullied for his religious beliefs, not only by his peers buy also by the staff. The guidance office fails to protect these children during a crucial time in their development. It appears that they are more focused on discipline than helping figure out the underlying issues of children who come to their office. The staff and faculty are rude, condescending and refuse to give you any information about their procedures and actions. My child is a straight A student who was in the gifted program and placed Advanced-Advanced on his MCT's. He was taking advanced classes in 6th grade and then in 7th was denied the opportunity to continue because we were told the advanced classes were full and that their system runs on a three year average and since our child had only been in the district for one year he automatically went to the bottom of their list. They also refused to show me information that could explain how this happened. If you are a military family or any other type of family that has to move in and out of communities for your job, do not send your kids to this school.
