St. Marys Middle School 205 Martha Drive, St. Marys, GA 31558

"Okay, so, I am an eighth grader currently at this school getting ready for ninth grade. I need to list some true things about this school before you send your kids here. You’ve probably seen the good things, so I’ll list some of the bad things. First off, there are some truly bad teachers. I don’t want to be mean, but some don’t teach, and make you teach yourselves. (I caught my science playing solitaire one time) I won’t name these teachers, but they are pretty bad. The next thing i’d like to talk about is the workload. It is understandable, but it can be very overwhelming if you do not devote most of your nights to doing homework. (It isn’t as bad in seventh and sixth grade.) The workload can be extremely detrimental for those who miss one assignment or forget to turn something in. They also do not expect you to have a life outside school, as weekend homework can be expected. But not all teachers are bad. There are some teachers that are pretty cool. But my social studies teacher loses your assignments often and blames it on you. Next, every kid is racist. I’m not exaggerating, either. Every person I talk to has said something racist once in their time at this school. The food you can expect from lunch is mediocre at best. The food can be good, on a rare occasion, but you usually have to get something you don’t really like. Your teachers here also love talking to your parents, as they make up stories all the time about what you do in class. (If you’re a goody two-shoes, you don’t have to worry.) This isn’t as much of a problem for me, but it happened once earlier this year. One last thing. The teachers here consider the effort work to be the most important, and say that the ease doesn’t really matter, but your parents consider your grade to be the final judge of what you do. Some adults think this place is just a magical land of learning, but truthfully, it resembles a prison more than a school. I know that some teachers will read this, so I would rather not identify myself in the event that administrators get involved with this. I do speak the truth in this review, so please consider sending your child to Camden before sending them here. They have bullying problems, though."

"Never went here but almost everyone I know from there were complete dbags to me"

"Do not send your children here this school cares only for the paychecks and not for the children I've been dealing with these nasty women at the front desk for years and your never right they are always right they back eachother up I'm so disappointed with this school and lack of commitment to the children."

"Our children attended this School, and we were very pleased as a military family. It truly cultivated the Military lifestyle and was full of diversity compared to more urban schools in the area. Teachers and staff were very caring, taught, and worked with kids who transferred in with all academic needs! Our children excelled here in their academics and we set very high standards including in their social lives. They identified our children as gifted and either got them in the gifted program or Honors Classes! Saint Mary's is All around a great school for Academics, Athletics, Band and extra curricular activities etc. It's middle school, an age where kids are very impressionable and trying to identify themselves! We actively Parented and was involved in all aspects of communication with our children's teachers and any experiences at this school! So just be the Parent your Child needs at any age and your Child will have a wonderful experience! Our children were extremely active and involved at Saint Mary's middle School. We have now PCs'd and we recommend this school to all Military Families in the various social media groups we are members of when other families say they're relocating to this area! We Still wear all of our Bobcat gear... Cheer and school Spirit Wear! ❤️"

"We just moved here from NY. They say people are more respectful in the south hahaha. IF YOU WANT RESPECT YOU NEED TO GIVE IT."
