Middle River Middle School, Baltimore | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

Before I go into much detail, I’ll miss my friends at this school. In fact, I’ll miss them so much that I am dedicating this review to them to talk about my experiences at MRMS, and other experiences that I’ve heard from them. The 2021-2022 year here was pretty chill and fun, I got to met new friends there but there was some problems at the school. Teachers would have dirty classrooms smelling like pee all of the time and one of my teachers there were asleep the whole lesson, and almost failed that class due to my teacher sleeping so much. There is also lots of fights at the school between sixth and eighth graders which are the majority and they’re taken care of with suspensions, even if they’re unfair or fair.

The 2022-23 year might’ve been my worst year here, but if it weren’t for my fun homeroom teacher I would’ve ranked it one of the lowest year I was in. A problem about this school is that they pretend to care and engage with students, but when students report or share their experiences at this school with a honest review it doesn’t matter anymore. This school cannot handle criticism well at all. They silently choose to ignore racial discrimination, assault, harassment, and other things that students do and when there’s a report, the punishment isn’t anything at all. I just hope that this school would give more harsher punishments to students who do stuff like this. It is also cool that the teachers and staff do activities for students to engage with us more but are prides a priority?

At the beginning of 2021-22, prides were more easy to collect but now for this year, Teachers will barely hand them out which is a problem for us students that want to participate in field days. One other thing which is a problem are the bathrooms, and lunch. The lunch is okay, but some stuff they serve in the cafeteria is a bit bland and dry, it’s a school so I am not going to criticize much but the meat they have isn’t great either. The bathrooms are much worse than lunch as there’s period blood smeared on the walls, pee and poop in unflushed toilets and people vaping as the bathroom always smells bad and usually closes due to people ripping soap dispensers off. But, the students here and teachers aren’t the best, by far it’s one of the worst things I’ll be talking about. The students don’t have self respect and don’t respect other students and teachers, and they also like to pick on and tease who is a different sexual orientation which is what happens to my friends all the time or identifies as something which is different from them. Students also make lessons go behind all the time and they like to irritate teachers, and some of the black students racially discriminated by other white students, or even people of color. As I have been racially discriminated a lot of times at this school and it basically feels like this “safe space” staff talks about isn’t actually normal and is a concern as parents and students email the school about this and the punishments aren’t serious and a light one to be at most. As teachers become more less engaging during grade levels going by, I hope this review helps the school to make a change. A great change to actually help their students and not to stress them out, even the teachers should make things more fun for them to actually participate. Needless to say, I’ll miss my friends here but I won’t miss you MRMS.

Heyy, so I’m going to this school right now and I mean they could improve a bit

Bathrooms : they could maybe do fundraisers to get soap for the soap dispensers (I like to bring hand sanitizer with me to school), I understand they might need to lock the bathrooms for the first 10 minutes and last 10 minutes of a period but someone might need to go like an emergency.

Hallways:I have seen lots of fights in the hallway especially on the first day of school and saw some teachers just ignoring those students fighting(who shouldn’t be in the 6th grade hallway) and just smiling waving to other students.

Bell ring: I feel like the bells should ring earlier because since lots of students walk SO SLOW and it’s crowded it will take lots of time to get to classes.

Teachers: don’t ever play with some of these teachers they will yell at you (some of them) these teachers deserve respect they don’t get paid a lot but these students are so disrespectful !

Students: Again they are so disrespectful, they will say racist things, fat shame, rude things, gender shame, etc.

Lunch: we get to wear hoods AND use our phones during lunch which is a great thing since we don’t have recess, I feel like people should be able to sit at any table they want but then the teachers won’t be able to find their students so I understand, and the lunch is the same as any other bcps lunch tbh nothing different!

Bus:some bus drivers can be very strict so I would follow the expectations, the bus isn’t so bad the one I ride but they can be very wild !

Overall: I would say it isn’t a bad school but then not the best school ever so I give this school a 3/5

If you have any questions you can message me on tik tok

Don’t let these reviews by current or past students deter you from experiencing all aspects this school attempts to offer. Staff can only do so much when a majority of the children who attend this school are disrespectful, do not care to learn and let their anger make decisions for them. The school lacks supplies and furnishings that neighboring schools might have only because the students do not respect the property, a minority of them barely respect themselves and base their knowledge off of trends and entitlement.
It’s sad to see reviews misspelled and full of hate when not one person contributing to the negative of this school has had the clear thinking of, I should do better for me. No, I want to do big things in my future. Yes, there may be a few teachers who’ve portrayed the harsher side of education, but that’s only because they’re given no other choice. I hope the kids who show up ready to learn pay no attention to the lack of things that make up the school and instead focus on what they can do for themselves. This school would be better with a clean wipe, stricter discipline, zero-tolerance phone policies and of course no school benefits from the lack of funding that they all face. Do better for your kids America.
