Torrington Middle School

"As a student who has gone to Torrington Middle School for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade I have to say it wasn’t that great to begin with and only kept going down hill. The students themselves were pretty awful to deal with since they took the greatest pleasure in making my time here miserable. I was only able to find a few diamonds in the rough that have been with me since day one and I hope to keep them with me for they proved to me to be great people. I can only count maybe five or six teachers throughout all the years I’ve been there that were actually good. One of the bad ones was a complete menace and always went after this one kid for doing very little to nothing wrong. Another teacher would get very angry with the students in his class for things happening in his own life that we had absolutely nothing to do with. Along with many teachers having toxic personalities and not teaching their classes, many students have tried to commit suicide in the school. One account I remember vividly was a girl tried to hang herself in the bathroom on the second to last day of school. I’m very glad to have graduated from that school with subpar grades and to have gotten accepted into a much better high school out of town. I still carry some bad memories and trama from being around horrible people 24/7. Anyone that goes to the school I went to I wish you the best. You’re going to need the good luck."
