"I can't even say that this school is average. It's way below average and it's heading more in the wrong direction. I don't now where all of the kids come from but there are so many kids at this school who don't live anywhere even close to the school's attendence boundaries. Not a lot of high expectations here with kids walking around in sagging pants and pretty bad behavior. You won't get much communication from the school and thats just how it is all year long. There are some good teachers, but each year more of them ask for transfers. The good families are pulling their kids too and it won't be long before the school is just another DeKalb county warehouse. So sad because Tucker and Smoke Rise are really nice places to live. I don't know why this school has to be so bad when it comes to test scores and the way the kids act."

"My child was enrolled at Tucker Middle. It was the worst experience that I had. Teachers were disrespectful, and virtually non-communicative. The administrators did nothing to improve communication and often refused to respond to inquiries. Many students are not even zoned for the school, and in some cases, bring the school down. In all, the school fails because of its ineffective principal, and poor administrators. The few good administrators leave the school, and the school seems to recycle administrators from other poorly performing schools."
