Paul Revere Middle School

Paul Revere was once a great school, but everything went downhill since the former principle left to work in a higher position at a different school. The students began to act out, former straight A students dropped to F's. I attended this school for two years before leaving, which was to me a blessing. There were fights everyday, it was nonstop. Most of the teachers didn't even know how to teach. The deans don't care about your child, or if your a student or planning to be, they don't care about your situations. The ladies at the front desk are rude, and not on top of things as they should be. At my time in Paul Revere, I got into countless fights due to self-defense, I would be the first to reach out to a dean due over the situation and I would get the worst punishment whether it be 3 weeks of off campus suspension or 3 in school suspension. The deans never heard me out and always took the sides of the other person. For instance on my first fight, a boy who didn't know better started spreading lies about me to this little girl, saying that I was talking about her. I didn't know her, mainly because we were in separate halls and didn't share any classes. The only relations we had was riding on the same bus, which was rare due to my bus stop constantly being moved to other buses after an incident with the bus driver. I constantly told the girl that I didn't want anything to do with her and that I didn't know her. I had previously told the deans about her and all they told me to do was to avoid her, in which I did my best to do. She eventually approached me in the bus and we fought after she swung at me landing a solid blow. The deans gave me 4 weeks of off campus suspension and 2 weeks in school suspension while the girl only got 2 days of in school suspension, that she didn't even attend. This school isn't what is horrible, it's the staff that don't know how to control and maintain it's students. This school is beyond horrible, even off campus dealing with buses. I rode the bus like many students but after an incident with the bus driver he was no longer able to drive my route, which wasn't a large route after the other stop got separated and mixed in with another bus. My stop was the only stop without a bus, for the first weeks we would have to wait for our parents to pick us up in my case, would mean waiting till 9 pm or 10 pm, because I didn't have any bus money, or anyone close enough to pick me up. I live in a single parent household which means I only have one parent available to pick me up and they work till late hours. I would have to wait in a nearby Subway because I would get kicked out the school and sometimes I would have to leave the Subway and wait on the sidewalk, which now thinking back was so dangerous... anyone could have kidnapped me (thankfully nobody did). The school refused to get me and the other students a bus, we were tossed onto a bus full of mentally disabled kids (they were not much trouble, but the bus driver was cranky- and I wouldn't blame her) we would sit in the back which had no seats and was meant for wheelchairs, because the only seats where usually taken up by the other kids. After some time the lady refused to let us ride we were tossed on to a bus that was over packed, we would be so tightly packed that we would have 5 students per seat all squeezed together and others trying to find space on the floor, the back was usually the most chaotic side, which I usually avoided. We usually didn't arrive home till late, like 8 or 9:30 pm. The bus driver of this new bus was extremely rude, beyond belief. I remember it was pouring outside me and my two cousins were waiting for the bus in the rain with no shelter at all, none of us had umbrellas because when we got dropped off it wasn't raining. The bus passed by slowed down for a whole 6 seconds before speeding off while we chased after it, it left us while people shouted at him to stop and we raced alongside the bus until we had no choice but to stop when it reached the freeway. We complained to the school and they did absolutely nothing.

I just graduated from Paul Revere and I can tell you that it was fun and I'm really going to miss coming here everyday. My teachers were so supportive and fun to talk to, especially my karate instructor Mr. McRae, he was always making us laugh and pushing us to be great. I'm going to miss you all ❤❤

Best school you will ever take your son or daughter to. For the 2 years i spent there i really enjoyed it. There are good teachers, good students, good resources, and the school has a very good vibe. Best school i have ever gone too!!

Student take advantage of learning. I'm in the 7th grade at Revere and it's very fun but some teachers just don't know how maintain us children. It's very easy to make friends at Revere a lot of kids are nice to you as long as you be nice to them. I've been attending this school for about 2 months and there has already been 2 fights ud83dude15. Other than the teachers and fights it's a very good and clean school.

This school was okay, i enjoyed my time there. but the bathrooms were always dirty and they smell, like you will be walking by by the bathroom and you will smell everything. The school wasn't different from any other school school we still had fights, gangs ect. But i will say so of the teachers were way too nice, and you may think that was a good thing but people really took advantage of them, and that made it had to learn. but the school was great, it you hang around the right people then it will prepare you for high school.
