Madison Middle School

"I like most of the teachers, but the bad ones are quite unfair, and the partially distasteful campus can't be ignored. Many students smoke tabacco and marijuana just off campus."

"I would say this school is okay but there is a lot of bullying at this school but other than that it's okay, actually there is a lot of drug use on Wednesday I saw a kid give another kid a lighter! I was really shocked. The teachers are okay. The staff are nice. Thank you for reading this and have a great day everyone"

"I had a poor experience overall with this school. My son has special needs and has an IEP. We came from another school district and also transitioned from 5th to 6th grade. Amy Brooks and my son's counselor were great. However, it felt as tho the rest of the teachers ignored the structure of the IEP (allowing breaks, quiet time, allowing extra time to get to classes, etc). My son constantly felt as though his teachers thought he was lazy, disliked him, and had no patience for him. Plain and simply put, they didnt understand him or care to get to know him and his disabilities, let alone his strengths. These teachers are overwhelmed with so many kids and will let the ones who need consistent and "extra" attention and/or help sink or swim. I agree with one of the other reviewers... The office staff are rude, short, and condescending to both parents and students. My son went his whole 8th grade year without having a math book. Many people were notified, from early on in the year, including the principle and nothing came out of it. And forget about getting a return phone call or email....I won't bother to waste my time by ellaborating. I hope this review helps someone out there who is considering this school."

"My Child went there 3 years, and I happen to love that school..As with any school, sadly, there will be grumpy staff and less then average teachers! For me as a child having experienced attending Portland public Schools , I happen to love Madison (far better than the alternative, Shasta!!)"

"This is, without question, the worst middle school in Eugene. The staff is unkind and the students lack any sort of motivation to succeed. I suggest you either buy a house in a different school region or transfer to a different school. AVOID SENDING YOUR CHILD HERE AT ALL COST!"
