Thurgood Marshall Fundamental Middle School

"I use to go there and I can assure u it is a terrible school as u notice all the reviews are from parents but no students never really write about thurgood becuz everyone would say its terrible. The only students that say it’s good is 6th graders becuz they just got there. I had a terrible time there and even my younger sister isn’t going anymore becuz its so bad. All my friends who go there tell me how miserable they are and how all they want to do is leave. All the policies are rediculous and just becuz it’s a fundamental doesn’t mean it’s good what ever u do do not send ur child here please hear me out on this all the teachers are rediocouls and so are the administrators. Do u want ur kid to be miserable? I’m sure they wi be if u send them here and the only reason I have thurgood one star is becuz I gave to to post this becuz honestly is deserved nothing"

"This school is just amazing. The Gifted Program is very helpful for those in need of it. Everyone there I met so far is just so kind and supportive. I've learned so much already and it has been only a few months. This is definitely the middle school to choose!"

"This school sucks don't send your children here, it is a waste of time and money. That is why I left that trashy place, go to Admiral Farragut Academy it is lit and you actually learn something. The food is cooked by chef's, at Thurgood it is all frozen food put in the microwave then served to children. And there is too much ghetto people and drugs going around. Don't send your children here!"

"It is all good, at Thurgood! : ) My son just finished 3 years at Thurgood.... Dr.Lowery the principle is awesome.The overall experience was good...However.....there are some fowl mouth kids that attend, and seem to get away with it, without the teachers reprimanding them. So watch out for that...and if your child is not a bus rider, the pick up sequence is a complete nightmare. It needs supervision during end of school pick up. Overall however... We are happy with our experience ."

"We are on our third child going through Thurgood and have been very happy with the experience and the results. Our first went through the regular program and on to the IB program at St. Pete (which he left and I wouldn't recommend for any but the most, truly driven students). Our next two entered the gifted magnet there and did great. An excellent program and good school overall. Our kids have witnessed some behavioral issues in the halls (it is the hormonal-factory-on-overdrive that every middle school is, after all), but the school seems to deal with those students swiftly and decisively."
