Joseph Plouffe Academy

"This 'IB' level school is more like a... favoritism school. This school never really cared much about POC (people of color) students. I was bullied here from my 6th-8th grade year. It's funny because their MCAS scores was so low during the 2018-2019 grade year they were DEPENDING ON US, a IB level school to get higher so they won't shut down. Maybe teach us better and you wouldn't have to worry... There is numerous fights in this school, and the teachers and staff as a whole don't even know how to handle it... This is such an unsafe environment if everyday you come to school there is a fight. This school has so many hidden scandals, you cant even imagine. Like how the old Music teacher brought Vodka to school and hid it in a brown paper bag and drank it in front of the students, slurring her words. She would also get aggressive with the students, especially me. I also remember one of the 8th grade teachers being so rude to me because I mistakenly threw glitter on my classmates hair. This was also the day where Southeastern Regional interviews were happening. I vividly remember her telling me, "Lets see how you get into Southeastern now." She laughed at my face and i spend the class on my knees crying picking up glitter off the floor with tape. I will never forget that day and I hope she doesn't either because that will go down as the worst thing she has ever done as a teacher. As a teacher you should NEVER make a child feel like that. Not only did she jeopardize me getting in that school, but it still hurts me today. Anyway this school is full of bundles of teachers who play favorites and the kids who aren't their favorite they lash out on them. This school is embarrassing as it is, and I feel bad for any child who gets bullied here because the teachers do NOTHING. I rest my case."

"Like this school I guess, some problems are just that there aren't any mirrors in the bathroom, the teachers are okay I guess but I'm not a big fan of the principle, the vice principle is okay. This school isn't the best nor is it the worst."

"This school is good but it can make some changes. Like there are no mirrors in the bathrooms and the dress code only applies to girls and is not inforced to guys. It is ok for guys to wear ripped jeans and not girls....ok but over all it is pretty nice and gets the learning and education job done."

"Im am in the seventh grade here, and its such a great school, the teachers are so nice, and so are the kids, seventh grade gets a field trip to NY! There are many after school activities, tryouts, and games! This is one of the best middle schools in brockton!!❤️"

"Love it! Such an amazing school. Awesome memories for middle school. Teachers are the best. 8th grader THE SCHOOL HAD A TRIP TO NEW YORK!!!! So amazing. First time traveling. So many good memories"
