Eighth Street Middle School
other then the fights they have slowed down since the beginning of the year that was my main concern it went from one to two fights a week to almost none i appreciate that someone took the time to see it was a problem which it was a big problem and they did something about it. i would really like to see some kind of effort made by the school to try to involve the parents a little more, wether it be a pta meetings or some kind of open house through the year. there seems to be nothing like that, that i am aware of.
