Duluth Middle School,

3200 Pleasant Hill Rd, Duluth, GA 30096, United States

"It was an okay school.. Just make sure your child's homework is done and correct.. My mother went into the hospital that year so my life was a wreck. The teachers were at rude to me and tried to fail me because I would cry in class while thiking about my mother. But the students there would bully me because I had acne and I was white. I did make a lot of good friends thought. Most of the teachers I had for 6th grade that year. Lemme tell you who to watch out for. Mrs.young- all she does is give your child work and she doesn't actually teach them. Mrs Herbert- all she'll do is yell and do the same thing every week. Mrs. Lee- she's okay.. New teacher to the school. Mrs. Shaw- very rude science teacher. I hope you think twice about this school.. Also, the students are very rude and disrupt class A LOT! - A Former 6th Grader Now A 7th Grader At Tidwell Middle School, Texas Fortworth"

"I was in stem and cannot speak for everyone else but I like the school. All the rotations and things people are criticizing the school for help keep order. Also the reason people call probe better is because they are jealous, and jealousy is rooted in materialism and this means that if you think probe is better off you should examine what you have. Also the new programs like stem are not unstable they are inventive and apparently a lot of the previous review-Ees don't like"

"I went to Duluth Middle for all my three year of middle school and had a good experience. Most of the teachers were great although there are always going to be that few that weren't. I liked the fact that they would reward you for doing something good like giving you walk n talks and movie days. This middle school also has a great fine arts program. I was in chorus for three years and had a wonderful time. The only thing I didn't like about Duluth Middle was that some of the teachers would be really lazy. All they would do is stare at their laptop the entire time and give is a worksheet. This really had me struggling especially since this teacher was teaching one of my worst subjects. However the good thing it taught was how to self study and how to be independent and to learn by myself. So other than a few minor problems, I believe that Duluth Middle is a great school and that it really helps your transition to highschool."

"I used to be a student here, and I did not enjoy my experience very much. The gifted/accelerated program at DMS is good (I was in all gifted classes), however the regular program could use improvement. Also, I noticed a considerable amount of violence throughout my three years. This did NOT make me feel safe at the school. Rules were placed so that violence wouldn't be an issue. However, I (along with many other students) never participated in violent acts, yet I was still told to abide rules that were unfair to ME. Also, administration never listened to the voice of the students. I never felt in touch with ANY of the administrators. I never felt that the principal or even the VP ever took the students thoughts into consideration- they were REALLY out-of-touch with the student body. I think that is where the true issue lies. Bottom line is- If you are a gifted student, Duluth Middle is not a bad school. My gifted teachers were very caring and they did do whatever was necessary to help their students. However, if you are not in the gifted program, the administration is really unfair and the rules are not understandable."

"Two of my children attended this school. I tutored the students for a year and served other organizations the directly served the school and students. I worked with the students and staff. The students are treated like prisoners. They act out constantly and are very disrespectful. I can't say which is the cause and the effect. The teachers have very little positive to say about students, parents and other faculty when they think no one else is listening. Deborah Fusi is out of touch with the community. She will not advocate for children or parents if it puts her staff at risk. Chris Tornese is arrogant and petty."
