Sig Rogich Middle School 235 Pavilion Center Drive, Las Vegas, NV 89144

"if you want to go to a school where you cry over everything within a month of being there, this is the school for you. ive been at this school for two years now and let me just say, i have had more mental breakdowns at this school than i have ever had in my life. the work piles on and on and on, you're overloaded with work, and they will give you detention for anything. speed walking? detention. standing in the isles at lunch? detention. rogich is NOT a good school. they do not care about if you're being bullied or not. i filled out a crisis report five times this year ALONE for bullying. each time, they have done nothing. person of color being bullied? they don't care. lgbt+ person being bullied? they do not care!! im glad im not going to be going there next year."

"OVERVIEW: I have been at this school for all 3 years, and throughout these years, I can honestly say that I have learned close to nothing. The only thing putting me through successfully is the fact that I'm a relatively fast learner and an accelerated student in all areas. Regardless, the administrators and teachers (for the most part - there are exceptions) don't care about any of their students unless they're a cheerleader or a basketball player (even the dance team doesn't get as much funding as the other teams). This school is a JOKE. IT'S A PUBLICITY STUNT. They don't listen to their students if they have problems. In fact, like many other people who commented, I would rate this school -125 stars if I could - it's that bad. Over the years, I have seen teachers and staff come and go, and they seem to be on a decline. The school is so bad, I can't even begin to explain. I was skeptical to go here in the 1st place, and I definitely rest my case seeing as in the past year, 2 students commited suicide. And you know what the school did? NOTHING. They pretend to care by offering "grief counseling" for 1 day, but then they ignore it and don't address it at all. DISCIPLINE: In the sixth grade, I "necked" a girl because it was an ongoing joke between us. She just went to the nurse's office to get ice, but they forced her to report me. Afterwards, I was called up to the dean's office. This particular dean was an alcoholic, and when I tried to tell her what happened, she kept saying, "YOU'RE LYING! YOU'RE LYING!", mind you, I am a straight 'A' student with a clean record (at the time), and the other girl had Cs and Ds, and she was known for overreacting to things. THEY ONLY BELIEVED HER. Keep in mind that when I tried to tell her what happened (that the other girl had done it to me also - with everyone, INCLUDING A SUBSTITUTE TEACHER, watching), she disregarded what I was trying to say. The most upsetting part of this was probably that she made me call my parents and she told me, AND I QUOTE, "Your parents are going to be very disappointed in you," as if that would make my crying self feel any better. Needless to say, I was RPCd and the other girl was not disciplined because I QUOTE, "didn't go to the dean's office soon enough, and had no proof (there was no mark left on me from her - BUT THERE WAS, I JUST CHOSE NOT TO REPORT IT BECAUSE I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS WHICH WAS, I ADMIT, A MISTAKE ON MY PART). On top of that, I worked my butt off to write an essay, maintain a good GPA, and fill out paperwork for NJHS, which the dean told me would not be affected by my RPC when my parents asked, but when I went to the next meeting, they kicked me out THE WEEK BEFORE MY INDUCTION. I was devastated and angry. It was just so unfair to me, and I felt like I was taken advantage of because I was a naïve sixth grader. Anyways, the next year, the dean was fired, but I'm not sure why (- probably because I wasn't the first case like this). They say that there's a no bullying policy at our school but when I reported someone for cussing me out, they were not disciplined. Also, the kids that already have a bad reputation NEVER GET IN TROUBLE. There was this one kid in my class in seventh grade, and he was singing confederate songs in the back of the room. When I told the teacher, he just gave him a dirty look, but nothing happened. But I was disciplined for something not intended to hurt anyone at all? This school's priorities are actually messed up. They don't know how to handle situations, and the administrators make friends with the delinquents instead of disciplining them. HOMEWORK: Being in all accelerated classes, I typically have unbelievable mountains of homework. THESE TEACHERS DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE LIVES OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL. I should not spend 7 hours at school only to come home to 5 more hours of homework. I don't understand how this much homework benefits ANYONE. Honestly, it's a bunch of homework that everyone half-does and gets nothing out of because they just copy off of other people throughout the day. -Paola"

"Update: March 2017 Ok, the reviews got worse since my first review. My opinion is that the star rating should be below 1, maybe even a negative. Idk, lol. Anyway, for chrome books, they now have to be fully charged, and you can't charge it in class anymore. The problem is, is that we have to use our Chromebooks for literally every frickin class. All of our work is done in our chrome books. Sure, it's way easier to do things on the computer, but is it really necessary to use them? There is also a tardy policy thing now. If you are tardy, you get RPC'd. (Required Parent Conference) I mean seriously? Why can't you just have detention or something like that. We also can't use our chrome books during passing period. I'm in Earlybird, and once it's 9:00, we can't use our chrome books for like playing games or stuff like that. I know, you're not supposed to use your chrome books for playing games, but our teacher did let us use them. I'm not sure about the other EB teachers though. Some teachers also need to chill. They sometimes will get angry at the student if their chrome books aren't charged. They won't go berserk for all I know, but I can see the annoyance on their faces. The only good thing that I think that they have added in was that you can use your phones at lunch. I'm not sure about the other lunches though, but they don't care if you're on your phone or not. That pretty much wraps things up for this review. I'll probably write another one someday. But if you go to this school, make a second thought. Since their are some bullies here also. This may be the best school in Nevada, but I'm telling you, this school is bad. But be sure to check out the other reviews too. There are horrific stories down below. Update!: May 2017 Ok, so in my first update, my teacher doesn't care anymore about us playing games on our chromebooks during passing period for Earlybird. But for the main update, I have already seen a few fights break out. I may have not seen as many as other people, and I do hear rumors of fights sometimes, but seriously, I was in the bathroom during passing period, and 2 kids walked in, and literally started a fight! I was using the sink at the time, but by the time I got to the doorway where they were fighting, a few other people broke it up. The two "suspects" ran off, and that's the end of it. . How can people just fight at school. Sure, I wasn't here my whole life, and maybe my school was a bit less rowdier, Ok, a LOT less rowdier, not sure if thats a word, but I mean, is that all they do? Kids just have fights in the bathroom, and someone has to break it up and just walk away? Sure, there are cameras here, but for what reason? To watch us students see if we do anything wrong. Or if there is a fight or something like that. I can rant on and on, but the thing that bugs me off the most is that STUPID "we don't do that here" in the lunch room. Is that supposed to tell us that we aren't supposed to have bullying here? Most people here use that phrase as a joke. If this is a "5 star school", then FIX THE DANG SCHOOL. BLOCK THE GAMES ON THE CHROMEBOOK. Literally everyone has played a game on their chromebook. Some use it in class without the teacher knowing that they are playing a game, and playing more than learning. The chromebooks in my opinion, are a bad choice for the school. If this is the best school in the entire state, does that mean that they are the richest? Does it mean that they have the best teachers? Or does it mean that they have the least amount of bullying in the school? Whatever the case, I am not changing my review, until I get out of this school. To be honest, this is a really one sided review. I did make a lot of friends, and I won't forget them. But I won't forget this school. Not because I made friends there, but because of how bad it is. Maybe that was understatement, but I will make another review. Except that this post isn't going to be near the bottom of the list. So I'm going to repost this. But remember to check out the other stories down below, because they all have opinions too"

"Pretty fun school, the deans take reports and bullying extremely seriously and most of the teachers are great and actually care about your education. I went there all three years of middle school and the only complaint I have is that the food that isn't served at the Student Store is terrible."
