Research McLoughlin Middle School public Schools in Wilsonville, Oregon

“This school is awesome! :) all these reviews are nothing like the actual school! i guess you will just have to come here to find out! mr mccoy and mr six rock!”

“Some teachers really care and some you have to keep on them to help with your child, they seem to busy to give that extra effort to a child who asks for help. the principal tries to help but still waiting for the teachers to respond. the dress code is the most horrific idea I have seen and to try and hold back all the children who's parents can afford clothes is unfair to these kids who are trying to grow and find themselves. Also with a school that has no lockers for these kids to put there belongings, and made to wear a backpack all day and no place to put there gym clothes, lunches or different classes during the day is as close to a bad learning enviroment as it gets. If you are thinking about enrolling in this school please look around to other schools, planning to move!!”

“i miss this school so much i loved it the teachers classes principles ect. it was over all an amazing school im a sophmore now and if i could go back and do it all again i would”

“i go there and i swear i love it. my mom loves that they have honor classes and the staff are very nice”

“I love mac the staff is very helpful and the extra activites are outstanding.”

“i am currently attending this school and the academic programs are really organizedand succsessful with the students.mr.obenour is our music teacher and we achieve in the marching band every year.but overtrall this school is a good envoirnement to learn in.”

“My child has gone to this school for 3 years.This year is his last year before high school.He has not been giveing his all.His father and I were at our wits end with his attitude.I scheduled a conference with his teachers and ALL of them showed up.I was so impressed with each one of them.They were so careing and willing to help out in any way.This school has at the very least 6 of the greatest most careing teacher's I have known.”

“I have seen spikes in their math performance for 6th grade 2003 but then it returned to 40% pass. I wonder how they can duplicate their success in 2003 again.”

“This school offers a challenge program which I believe was great 3 years ago. The science teacher Mrs Ko and 6th grade Challenge teacher was absolutely top notch.I am disappointed with the last two years that a science team no longer meets to compete. There are a variety of extracurricular activities offered but I think that the academic type might also benefit the students. I think the kids should get extra credit for participating in extracurricular activities that are academic in nature as it enhances their learning in a different format. The music program is great especially Mr Obenour!! I have noticed that the no child left behind program has changed the mind set of teaching and how information is presented to students. Kids that were discouraged with school are enthused with learning. What better way to improve behavior and self-esteem. Love the family night actitivies. Thanks for responding McLoughlin staff.”

“McLoughlin Middle School has a very well advanced learning system. The teachers are fun, loving, caring, and extremely over the top helpful with the students that attend at McLoughlin Middle School. There is one thing I want all parents to remember it's not the grades that matter, it's the test scores that make up the grades that matter.”

“I go to Mcloughlin middle school. I know how things are really and some things people are saying are true and others arent...I mean we do have fights but not everyday. We do have some good teachers but not all are nice. But I have to agree that th p.e. teachers are really cool. And our school does have some expactations. Teachers at our school grade differently to make sure that the kids are getting the best time and the work isnt too easy or too hard. Sure our school is really old but we are getting remodled this summer and sure we do have a few problems with some kids but not all are bad....and sure 8th graders are going to pick on 6th and 7th graders they are the big dogs of our school.”

“In response to the last review on this school, I believe that the writer trying to defend the school, hit on why there is a problem. The writer talks only about the 'activities' offered - and 'how fun and nice' the teachers are. Aren't kids there for the academics? My step daughter attends this school and I find that the bar for excellence is lowered to accomodate a more diverse student body. My 6th grade step daughter gets straight As but doesnt know how to form a written paragraph...she misses a lot of her reading assignments but can still get an A or B in reading. I think the teachers appreciate that she shows up and is respectful compared to their other students and thats what her grade represents - I just feel that when you lower expectaions, the kids will surely live down to them.”

“Well, after that last comment I am totally blown away! I believe this school is one of the greatest in the city! The teachers are great, espically the PE teachers who are all very nice and friendly. Mac holds many Advisory activities that get the students of all ages involved. Jan Griffins advisory has a mixture of ages and the students are friendly. Advisory is to help the students get involved with kids from other ages. Mac Nuz is a creative morning announcement show so the students have fun watching it and know the announcements for the week. ALso, there are Intramurals at the school wich are fun activities for the kids. I am very sorry to hear the other parents feelings about this school. I love this school and have reccomended it to many of my friends. McLoughlin Middle School is a great school!”

“My son attends Mac Middle School as a 6ths grader this year, and has had a very difficult time.. He has been bothered by the 8th graders in the hall way several times.. he no longer goes threw the hall way now to avoid them. I feel there is not sufficent staff in the mornings in the ouside area or the hallways of the school. I have had some concerns regarding a couple of the teachers, and have had very poor communication with the school. the teachers rolls her eyes and you can visibly tell she does not care. when this behavior is brought to the principle it is given to the asst. principle, who laughed at my concerns..There are also fights at this school almost Everyday! I am very unhappy and if possible will be moving my child out of this uncaring and unsafe school.”
