Phoenixville Area Middle School Reviews
Rating 2.33 out of 5 3 reviews
As far as I can see, the only negative to PAMS is that it is filled with middle schoolers. Anyone who has one knows what I mean. The facilities are brand new and amazing, although they could've added a little color to the hallways and lockers. The auditorium theater is better than some I've seen in the city. The administration is great and engaged. There are a few teachers that leave something to be desired, but the majority are very good.
My experience at PAMS was less than enjoyable, to say the absolute least. Witnessing the constant drug abuse and fighting that occurred next to daily in the middle school was disgusting, let alone traumatizing for some students. The faculty did little to nothing regarding the safety of students during these events and instead opted to hold "bullying assemblies" in an attempt to stop bullying instead of directly dealing with the issue. Along with this, many of my peers have gone to a councilor when in need of assistance and were given nothing helpful or resourceful in return when their bully gets "a stern talking to," which does absolutely nothing. People have been arrested for assault on the school premises, might I add. The only thing that kept me sane in that school were certain teachers who were caring enough to listen to my and my friends issues. Even then - some teachers proved to be absolutely useless when dealing with students. I would go on, but I only have so many characters.
Phoenixville offers a terrible learning experience for students. The teachers are horrible and do little to facilitate a positive learning environment. Hours and hours of homework are given each night that does nothing that relates to topics taught in the classroom and has little relevance to life skills. Students are allowed to do whatever they please, and the rules are never enforced. A blind eye is turned to fighting and drug use as long as the students are passing the PSSAs. Phoenixville is a mess of a school that treats its students like animals.
