Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2008-08-25 “I am a student at Skinner Middle School..I believe that Skinner is a Great school! i love being at school everyday.. The teachers are so kind,smart, and helpful! Send your child(ren) to Skinner Middle School!” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 3 2007-02-23 “Skinner to be honest is a very good school, but the reason I rated it the way I did is, because the new princple is very strict! And well maybe that may be good quality for the parents of many students, for various reasons of course, but if you want your kid to enjoy school. then if I was you I wouldnt send them to Skinner Middle School. Why? because we have no socials, no field trips, practiclly no nothing! Now I as a student also know that grades come first then fun, but really students need a break too! Especially on festivities, not only because of too much work but also because of other reasons. So this school has gone from B to a D through the past year, and all because the princple is way to obsessed with the idea that every minute should be spent 'learning?'” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 5 2007-02-06 “I attended Skinner Middle School from 2001-2004 and it was a great experience. The teachers there, though it may not be apparent, work harder then any I've seen in my academic career. While attending I was able to travel to San Diego, California for Sea Camp in the spring. It was great to get out of Colorado and it taught me many life skills. The school totally prepared me for my current school Denver School of Science and Technology, which right now is the best school in DPS for Math and second best in reading/writing only to DSA. Parents, though some may disagree, were always apart of events that went on and were a constant help to the school. It was a great school and i encourage all prospective students to go there” Posted By: teacher Quality Score: 2 2006-01-05 “Skinner is a bi-lingual school, but that only means that it's a nearly completely segregated learning experience. It is also home to a program for the severely emotionally handicapped and physically handicapped. Because the Spanish speaking students and the handicapped are pulled for their individual classes, the electives are a chaotic blend of overstimulated children and grossly underprepared teachers. The few teachers that are good are fabulous; unfortunately there are far too many uninvolved, lacidasical. Additionally, because of the transient nature of the neighborhood, and the fact that many children are being raised by grandparents or non-English speaking parents, Skinner parent involvement is nearly exclusively white and woefully under-represented.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-09-12 “I have one daughter that left Skinner 3.0 GPA and one attending Skinner. My oldest enjoyed and learn at a steady pace. My youngest is already advanced so I will be watching closely and with the confidence that I have in the teachers I will be proud. The people who answer the phone and take care of the office need help but as far as the teachers go....No problems there! May I suggest a communications and conflict class for the office personnel?” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2004-08-17 “My daughter was in 6th grade during the 2003-2004 year, during the first couple of months we encountered numerous problems. The teachers and staff appeared to have little control of the students. It became very obvious in a short amount of time that Skinner was a bad choice for middle school. My daughter had decent grades in Elementary and quickly they declined at Skinner. The change in attitude and respect for others became totally unacceptable. Our decision was made to enroll her into a private school where she would be given the opportunity for a positive learning experience and teachers who cared. Skinner has a long way to come to give children a decent learning environment.”
