I had some concerns, but when i brought it up to the principal and Teacher, they handled it immediately and my son is happy. It is a large population of kids, however make sure you have your concerns heard to the proper staff member. I am very pleased and look forward to a great school year!

Terrible Bathrooms are disgusting. Cafeteria looks unappetizing On behalf of my friends who buy lunch, the only edible food is the ice-cream 7th gr. Red Team teachers are awesome 8th gr. White Team teachers are cool too The gym uniform is horrible and because Voorhees is a dominantly white community their patrotism is downright offensive. Every fricking thing is red white and blue because America is the best place on Earth. The gym locker rooms must be redone along with the bathrooms and classrooms. The teacher's lounge has better water 'fountains" than the students do Certain teachers point out us black people and interrogate us like we're criminals. They target us if we have hats or beanies and they always wanna check our ipads. Diversity in the curriculum is necessary. Jewish folklore is considered fact in textbooks. Native Americans have less than 10 pages as a whole. You skip over Africa and Asia seventh grade year. It presents white people as the hero and skips over the violence and the death and the struggle. It skims over it. "Oh yeah, we enslaved most of your ancestors and exiled the others. More importantly, we invented all of this other stuff so you can forgive us now" Sapovits complains about everything. Sixth grade teachers look the other way when it comes to bullying. Mrs.Marino likes to lose student's assignments and claim that they weren't turned in. She targets your siblings if you gave her a bad impression. Mrs.Brosius needs to lecture less and teach more. She should be more understanding and not give us 10 projects at once. We have other work too! School Dances SUCK! When I moved to Voorhees, I expected MUCH better. Because I thought all teachers would care about students. That they would stand up for us. That they would actually try to teach us. But I guess not. The few good things are You have plenty of opportunities to socialize and meet new people Alot of people are nice. Even the Populars. Not all geniuses, but they're nice mostly. Ipads allow us to take control of our learning. Because if we don't, who will?

The seventh grade hallways are too small, people are always pushing/shoving! People are also falling because of the pushing and shoving The school has to improve on the ID calling and the lunch lines And the school has a lot of fights but the school doesn’t do that much about them

All students are given a student ID to... what, exactly? Get lunch earlier than the kids who have more demerits than grade higher than a C? It serves no purpose otherwise that cannot be done with something else. It's not as if the teachers don't recognize their own students, and there's no reason a middle school aged student from another school would want to be in the sad excuse for a dance. They may as well pick the nicest student by name to get lunch first, for how discreet they're being. I get that teachers are all different, but the dissonance between the two teaching methods is so very painfully clear. Half the teachers expect a minimum to any noise, and the other half of the teachers are absolutely bewildered when none of the students have anything to say in class. The teachers couldn't care less if someone is saying something offensive. If you report anything to the principal, they will ask the perpetrator(s) to give a fake apology that they don't care to mask with fake genuineness, regardless of whether the teacher is right in front of them. Yes, that really makes the kid feel better. That should teach the brat basic human decency. My point here is that teachers are incapable of teaching anything, especially empathy. Which is not suprising. It's hard to show a trait to someone when you don't intrinsically understand it yourself. The teachers don't bother hiding that they pick and choose favorites. They also don't bother hiding that the despise nearly all their students except their favorites. The longer you go here, the more you resent your teachers and the more the teachers subconsciously decide that all students that are not perfect are evidently teenage degenerates that do all sorts of illegal activities outside of school (as if school is some sort of safe haven where rules cannot be broken). Grading systems within the school are practically random. Despite an actual systematic grading system being formally agreed upon, many teachers simply raise grades of the students they prefer and fake mistakes and proceed to blame it on the other unfortunate kids. The school promotes free thinking of all sorts, except for the part where you may not contradict any sort of authority already in place, including the laws, whatever everyone else in the classroom believes, and often times your teacher. You can get away with anything, unless you are a minority of some sort. But then, I suppose this is an almost universal thing. The school will not take responsibility for injury within premises, property damage done by another student, sexual assault within premises, students with depression, actually, you know what? They won't do anything except try to 'talk things out'. I'm sure it makes the rest of the student feel safer when the students in the back of the bus chant 'KKK' at the top of their lungs. It's just so very secure in this school. The student body's idea of humor is annoying (or harassing, as it were) as many other students as possible. If you are not doing this along with everyone else, you can and will get screwed by everyone else. There are no other options here. If you don't show faux enthusiasm for the school's events, sports teams, or the school in general, the teachers will automatically assume that there is something wrong with you and that you despise everyone and everything at school, and not that you're simply apathetic. If you are simply apathetic your first year here, then by the third year you will legitimately hate the school, if only for the fact that every teacher feels like they should goad you into liking it. Give a good first impression for the teachers. Not because they're of any importance in your life after middle school, but because if you don't, then you will get dragged into a self perpetuating cycle of the teachers making you feel worse, which makes lowers productivity, which give the teachers a bad impression- you probably see where this is going. Middle school could've been worse, but better than worse does not mean good.

It's a good school but the bath room and lunch eww and some of the kids is ass holes

Robert Sundstrom

Really one of the best schools in NJ, offers something for everyone. Hands on, interactive work for whoever needs it. Provides a private school like feel and personalized care and experience for all! Outstanding Drama program, extremely advanced productions !

Lost an entire year of math going through eighth grade red team teacher. Little to no homework most nights of eighth grade, not prepared for high school at all.

Ms.Pryzbylkowski and Mr. Hopely are the only good teachers in 6th grade blue team.
