School Reviews
| 4 good teachers but there are way to many bully''s, especially at young ages like I got mine in 5th grade. though there are barely any physical fights. A LOT OF KIDS!!!! A bunch of people go here. The teachers are very sweet. It gets really boring though, no much to do. We except gays, goths, emos, popular, weirdos, ect. - Posted by Student/Alumni - Kylie |
| 5 I can not say enough about the caring teachers at Festus Middle School. They(students) do have access to alot of extracurricular activities. The current administration displays an extremely negative attitude towards certain types of students. The current administrations lacks the professionalism necessary to demonstrate a positive image for the students. - Posted by Teacher - ironp |
