Sherwood Middle Academic Magnet School 1020 Marlbrook Drive, Baton Rouge, LA 70815

"I am a returning student, all the teachers are good and support you no matter what, Gay, Lesbian, Black, Asian, White anything and the teachers wouldn't judge neither would I but my only main problem is some of the students are just straight up rude, I once saw people running away from someone they thought was gay, unlike them I would respect that person, we all are equal none of us deserve to be able to judge each other and I know we can't control anyone but I still will tell how I feel about this I want everyone just to look at someone different and see the similarities, even if there is no visual bullying you can tell everyone is judging you life lesson for me never look a tiger in the eye."

"Great students and teachers. It’s easy to make friends here no matter who you are. –Keira Stewart"

"I honestly love this school. It has such a great atmosphere and I've been able to make so many friends here. Most of the teachers here are great, though sometimes they tend to move very fast so you must be able to keep up. The art programs here are excellent. Our choir, band, and Orchestra are phenomenal and almost every year we get sweepstakes. We also have our fitness teams, such as Soccer, Basketball, Volleyball, and Track. Our teams are amazing too and our gym walls are covered with banners of all the winning championships we've gotten. We also have multiple trophy cases filled with more trophies from us winning. We also have multiple dances/socials throughout the year and they're really fun. We also have clubs that you can join, such as Beta club, Basketball club, Future Stars club, String instruments club, and many more. All in all, Sherwood is a really great school and I think if you want your child to have the best middle school experience, you should send them to Sherwood. This is coming from an eighth grader who has been at Sherwood from 6th to 8th grade."

"They pick on certain students, also had me with child protection at my home accusing me of beating mmy child when I had to sit with ALL her teachers and get told that my student academically was GREAT but her behavior affected her grades but when I disciplined her and they pushed another student to ask her if I whipped her she said yes and they reported me, I am happy this is her last year."

"Enjoying the academics, structure, administrative support, and activities available thus far. I have a first year student there and another who will attend next year. I'm an active parent, and I'm always proactive with my children's education...but SMAMS need improvement in proactive teacher communication. .not reactive."
