Kirby-Smith Middle School

My 6th grade year was awesome (and not just because i knew the principle really well). It had great teachers, academics, sports, activities, field trips, etc. The sports are endless. They have cheer, volleyball, basketball, football, softball and baseball, swim, track, etc. And the teachers really care about there students. I prefer going to Kirby for Middle School because to me u could get really attached to that school for many reasons. Also the reason i said 6th grade year is because i've only been there since 6th grade (btw another reason i would go to kirby is they've been an A rated school for 12 years.) Hope you go to Kirby and if you do look for me Zhian Legare in the 7th grade.

It was alright until they decided to implement STEAM instead of STEM. Have fun doing art and music at a technology school, lol.

Better than most schools in Duval County, (Except for Lavilla but you have to apply for that) but that's not saying much. Most of the teachers are good, but some of them don't teach you anything, or have bad teaching methods. Despite this, most classes are fun. Sports teams for the school used to be good, but because of bad 6th graders on the teams, they are now second best in division instead of first. (They lose to Oceanway). There are alot of clubs however, most of which are fun. My personal experience with the school over the past three years has been very good. Bullying is nearly non existent, and the students there are fairly nice. Fights are not that common, happen at random, and end quickly, but they are still fun to watch. Unfortunately though, there are no drug dealers in the school ): (Don't do drugs kids). All in all, better than the other schools, but would not come back here if given the chance. P.S. while it says that this school has an arts program, that is a blatant and udder lie. Edit: Though I had fun at the school, I am sad to learn that most of the good teachers have left the school. I have no idea if the school is still good as a result, so take my review with a grain of salt.

Not at all impressed with this school thus far this year. The directing of traffic after school pick up is horrible. The staff directing traffic is very rude. My child is exceeding in all of his classes except this one teacher whom is very much unorganized and always misplacing assignments or either don't grade them when needed so. My child stresses about getting a good grade in this class and no matter how hard my child tries she still manages to not give him a good grades above D. I put my child at this school because I heard nothing but good things about this school over the years but not so much impress anymore! So if you have a upcoming sixth grader do not place them in DevanneJones class. So unprofessional! Not to mention I had a teacher/parent conference with this teacher the day after the Super Bowl which she missed no call/no shoe but claim she was sick(more like an hangover). Then sent home an elementary teacher/parent conference sheet explaining why she missed the conference I showed up to instead of calling. Im fed up so I had to share my experience thus far!
