"PLEASE READ ! Hello, I was a prior alumni for this school and I prefer to stay anonymous. This school is a painfully hard experience if you are/were a kid just trying to learn or partake in extracurricular activities. The teachers are biased towards certain children. For example, if you were a (troubled) child they would let you freely roam the school whenever you wanted to as well as say whatever you wanted to whoever you wanted without consequence while, If you were a goal oriented/ quiet / non trouble making kid, they wouldn't even let you use the bathroom much less talk out of place once without the risk of detention or a phone home. This slackness not only causes the bad kids to make trouble for the good children but makes the good children aspire to be as bad as the bad kids because of the faculty's negligence and bad decision making along with the perceived privileges to be received amongst being rebellious. How do I know this? I was bullied very harshly (along with my female cousin and my friends) because we were those few kinds of kids still willing to learn the material rather than be bad or make a name for themselves. Also, it would be wise of you to teach your kid how to fight before attending this school because not only does this school have a lot of fights amongst themselves but they also fight other schools aswell ! I was jumped on a staircase, jumped on my way to school later getting stomped out and even had a knife pulled on me. Report after report after report and nothing was done. My mom even went as far as to file a police report and the school tried to lie and say it was off school grounds even though it was inside the school's recess yard. Sadly all the reports aimed towards the faculty fell on deaf ears and nothing was resolved but somehow the bullies heard just fine since they always found out you told on them. So before you were getting fought for no reason and now you were getting fought for snitching. I remember I finally said enough was enough and I tried to walk out. As I neared the door a security guard took me to the assistant principal's office to talk about it and I explained everything to her from the bullying to the teachers withholding vital learning material to let the kids do whatever they wanted during class. She took away my prom , every school trip for the rest of the year, detention for the rest of the week and threatened my graduation. I was crushed. After that day I just stopped going and it was pretty early in the school year as well. A month before graduation I got a call from them stating I had good enough test scores and work grades prior to leaving so it was possible for me to graduate even though they robbed me of 3 years of my childhood and education. Lucky me right? Listen, whether you want to send your kid here or not is up to you but if your kid is a hard working, ambitious, quiet or even generally good person please don't send them here. It still haunts my cousin, friends and I that we had to go through all of that just to get a education from that school."

"Roy H Mann was not to shabby of an experience for me. They have a large school and a giant yard for recess. The kids stay physically active. Education wise if your child studies, they should have no problem in this school. The ethnicity in the school is mostly African American (just some info). I found most of the teachers a pretty good. If your child is in 6-1 to 6-3 in their first year they are very set."

"I'm looking for a good middle school for my kids. Reading reviews of Roy H Mann scares me to send my kids there. Because each review describes what a FUN AND EASY school it is and most of the review that are written with misspelled words. NOT A GOOD SIGN!!!!!!!!!!!!! School's good credentials are good teaching and learning not FUN AND EASY."
