Mark Twain Middle School

"i was a student at this school for 7th and mostly 8th grade. I had to move, and was devastated because the school was amazing. the staff and kids were so nice and helpful. i would recommend this school"

"I am a grandmother whose raising two grandchildren, I moved to Virginia from Maryland to try and get a better education for my grandchildren. One has a IEP and one with ADHD. I put my oldest granddaughter in this terrible school thinking to will make a difference. Since she been there she's been suspended three times for defending herself form bullies and racist actions towards her. Each time the child hit her first and when she hit back she was suspended and not the other child/dren (white girls). This last incident was involving a black boy who put his hands on her tripping her up in the hallway making her fall on her face. Nothing was done about it but when she attempted to fight back she was suspended and not the young man. I have had enough. Education is very important to me. I am very involved in her school activities and attending meetings when call. I always tell them to let me know when I am needed. They are very racist towards blacks and Spanish children. Some of the staff is racist and lies on the children in the school. I do not recommend any children of color to enroll in this terrible school. I can't wait to get my granddaughters out of this terrible place. I am very upset about how they handle their children and rules. I will not recommend this school to no one. This is the worse school my granddaughter attended in her life. She loves school and now she hates even leaving out the door. She cries so bad because they keep suspendeding her from protecting herself and they dont suspend the other child/dren who harmed her. This is the worse year we had with dealing with school. I didn't have this much trouble when my granddaughter attended schools in DC and Maryland."

"Very good school. the teachers are so nice and just dont hang with the wrong people. shoutout to mr. Kniesly"

"My son raffi wants to kill himself because of this school.100% would recommend to a friend!"

"This school has a wonderful staff! Not only are the teachers excellent, but the administrators are hardworking and easy to communicate with. It is clear that they genuinely care about their students."
