The school appears reluctant to exercise serious control over rampaging student behavior. I even on one occassion saw the Principal smiling at the antics of one student while trying to correct misbehavior. Security tends to be avoidant. One officer said ' It doesn't matter WHAT they do in there. Just don't let them out into the hall!' Student do not show concern for grades or threats of disciplinary action.

I like what the team of teachers are doing to improve the school. They made AYP in 2004 I expect them to make it again.

My son just started at Shaw Middle School. I know the principal will work with him. He was a good teacher and and vice principal was transfered to Shaw and expect him to be a good principal.
