GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Bessie Coleman Middle School was a place where I can comfortably say, it was and still is a good school. I can still remember what it was like when I first attended Bessie Coleman Middle School. When I first arrived to Bessie Coleman, my brother and I were terrified to separate from our parents and from each other. Bessie Coleman was the first place where my confidence grew from the result of my teachers and staff, and from being part of the basketball ball team. My brother and I didn't play regular basketball before, but it's ironic because we were the best kids on the team. Long story short, Bessie Coleman was the first school for me to grow as a person.

Why would a teach put that in a students file that will g...

This school is not a learning institution, it is a prison. This school lacks diversity. Faculty are unwilling to work with parents who actually want their children to succeed. Faculty implore parents to utilize Skyward to view student progression; however, when a question arises no one will pick up...
