Small Middle School Reviews

I hate to say it, but 'I hear you.' Unless you are a fearless, persistent advocate for your child and know all the workings of the special education system, Small is a hostile place for your child.

Absolutely speechless about the lack of caring for students who have learning challenges. One teacher didn't wish to discuss students grade because she knew he had failed. The whole system is broken and the teachers are intimidated to tell the truth. So dear educators is this the kind of role model you think we shouldbe for out future leaders. I dare say not!

As with all schools there is always room for improvement, but the sign of a good school is a school which is willing and able to change to suit the student population. Small is such a school. With wonderful leadership and a good staff (there are always exceptions in any school as far as teachers) Small's teachers generally help students achieve to the best of their abilities and beyond. More parent volunteers and mentors would be nice.

I've had (2) kids attend Small, the youngest of which will move on to high school next year. I've been very pleased overall. The few times I've had concerns I've approached the teacher and was able to work it out. I've heard comments from teachers in high school that Small students are often more prepared academically in some areas than other area middle school students.

I am a special ed student at Clint Small Middle School. The administration only pays attention to the bad kids and the kids who are failing. I get good grades, so they don't think I need help, but I do. They don't believe what the good kids say, and just think you're lying. They don't listen to the parents either. They only care about what the teachers say. A lot of students need help with social communication, but the school will not provide it unless you get into fist fights or are failing your classes. This school is very good if you don't have any 'special needs.'

This school has a great learning enviornment that anyone can adapt to! It gives stundents room to grow while discovering their niche in life. Clint Small supplies great skills for anyone who attends! I am proud to say that Clint Small is excellent.

The counselors tend to cater to the parents that are most involved. There are a few questionable teachers but other than that it's ok.

I went to Clint Small from the 2nd semester of 6th grade through 8th grade. It was an amazing experience. I could not have asked for a better school or better teachers. At Small, the teachers actually do care about each and every student, and it shows. If you're having a personal problem or falling behind, they help you out. I learned so much here, and am very prepared for highschool. I would definetly recomend this school to everyone.

My child left a small private school to attend Clint Small Middle School in her 7th grade year. She is thriving, we are thrilled. She was warmly welcomed by teachers and students, alleviating our fears about transitioning a middle-schooler to another environment with different kids. The athletics program in particular with its wonderful coaches/mentors has been outstanding in helping create a healthy and robust social life for my daughter, especially with other girls. We are very pleased with Clint Small Middle School and would recommend it to anyone.

Excellent Science Program. Mrs. Mikels is great!

I was extremely happy with my son's entire middle school experience at Small. The 6ht grade staff made that extra effort to make sure the freshmen did not get lost in the crowd. He was happy with almost all his teachers--quite a feat for a boy that hated elementary school. He's a sophomore in high school now, but I credit Small and its wonderful teachers for turning his attitude around.

my daughter loves middle school this year. Teachers keep you updated with grades and let you know if any intervention is needed. It's a big school, but feels more like a large family.

I'm absolutely thrilled w/our kids Jr. High. We've been extremely lucky w/Oak Hill elementary and now Clint Small. The class choices for the students are great!

I think clint small is the worst school ever. The teachers or should I say the 7th grade teachers are so rude. I really wish that the staff could change because they are really rude!
