If you really want to know what it is like at Rochester Middle School (RMS) you should learn from a student that actually goes there. I go to RMS and I can tell you it's not a very good school and I will tell you why. There are physical fights between students almost daily. Our kids at the school are so bad that we have a recourse officer around all the time. We have our own computers at RMS but we can't even take them home like most other schools would let you because they can't trust the children. The academics are horrible there are good teachers here and there but you would be lucky to get in there classes. The rest of the teachers don't seem to know how to deal with children. Some teachers hate us and will show that they hate us by never recognizing the good and only pointing out the bad. I don't seem to learn very quikly at RMS and neither has other kids compared to other schools. We are probably have the lowest grades in NH. RMS handles bullying and troubled students horribly and nothing gets taken care of. The kids there are so immature too. The sad thing is nobody seems to be nice there I was raised and taught to be nice to everyone but it doesn't help you at RMS to be nice because everybody is mean to you in return. I really have no friends at RMS because I have a really hard time fitting in with the kids because they aren't nice to me and are ungrateful. There is drama at RMS all the time no matter what so if your child goes here they might come home crying to be honest. I really don't like the way this school treats the kids. Another thing is the kids with learning disabilities or autism , or ect. Are treated differently and you would think well ya they are because they need special help but that's not the only reason why i say this because the teachers seem to poorly judge those kinds of kids and I feel bad for them. In our school the kids are separated in teams so for example there is 4 6th grade teams (UNE, BC, FPU, NE) those teams are all separated into groups of kids there are usually 70 kids on a team and there are usually 4 teachers per team ( social studies, math, English, and science). The troubled kids get placed on a different team called Texas university and you'd think ya that's good but they may get some of the help they need I guess but it is failing them for real life and socially they are treated not as well as the others because people seem to judge the kids on that team. And another thing is that most kids at RMS take drugs and the reason I know that is because of seen and witnessed it. Also to be honest a lot of kids hide monster in there lockers and drink it between classes. These kids are out of control that's all i am saying.Rochester middle school is not a great school for your child of your child is into sports. RMS does sports but our teams are horrible we lose all the time because nobody is very dedicated. So that's all. I told you what goes on at RMS if you are a student. That's how student life at RMS is.
