Pickens County Middle School

This school is OK but I've seen better. I am currently attending this school and I am appalled by everything that happens there. Some of the teachers cuss in front of the students. While some teachers are kind others are ruthless. This will be my second year there and for once I'm not looking forward to school. I would let my parents home school me but I have friends at PCMS.

My child attended elementary school in this county, had all A's and loved school. His first year at this school has been a nightmare. Coaches cuss at the students during football practice. If your child is caught talking during class and they are on the football time they have to run the whole practice. Popular students get away with picking on the less fortunate students, because they sponser the band or are getting kick backs from the rental company that supplies band instruments. The principal is all about high test scores and could care less about the students that are struggling. If you can afford to stay home or private school your kids in Middle school I would strongly recommend it.

This school is the reason i homeschool my son. He played football for there team and was hurt while playing. When he had trouble keeping up because of his drs. apts. i requested a teacher stay after with him and help him learn what he had missed. Instead the principal thought it would be better to throw him in ISS and throw his work at him in there alone. Therefore he was not going to learn it. Teachers would not allow him to bring the wheel chair into the classroom, knowing he could NOT walk, they were forcing him to do so, which increased his injury. Overall this school and the people in it do not care about your child unless they are above average learners, anyone else they try to get out by suspending, or any way necessary to make sure they recieve all their top awards. My son has 5 friends that ended up being homeschooled because of this school and they did not return to public school till there were in high school. I DO NOT recommend this school to anyone!

school is horrible teachers make fun of students and yell there heads off at them and if they fail crct it gets worse and dont get anyone started and the people in the office!
