Pharis F. Fedde Middle School
Anonymous: My child was always top of class; an HONOR student entering this school. The first quarter in 7th grade was good as usual. My child began to getting bullied and grades started falling! No one questioned the grades at school! I reported that my child was being bullied so they took my child out of HONORS classes because the focus at the time for my child was on the kids bullying. I reported the issue to the counselor and requested counseling for my child because the bullying was pretty bad. What the school did was blame our home life on the drastic changes, put my child on probation and took all privileges away, school events, dances etc. MY CHILD WAS PUNISHED FOR BEING BULLIED. The children that were doing the bullying did NOT have consequences, or punishment. The counseling I was offered NEVER happened. My child has struggled ever since and now is in basic classes and has no drive to work to the potential once had. The teachers and counselors do NOT help my child when needed. In my eyes a struggling/failing student is a failing teacher! I am very disappointed at how this school works, even the office assistants seem lost like they don’t know anything about their own work/school. I would NOT recommend anyone send their child/children to this school.
