“Truman has disappointed me. My son does not show evidence of learning. I have had meeting with his teachers and counselors for additional help-very little was offered. Truman needs a serious academic makeup.”

“Some teachers act like kids should teach themselves. This school is a waste of time and my daughter has wasted a year at this school when she could've excelled somewhere else.”

“I could not disagree more with the negative comments about Truman Middle school.....I have gone out of my way to be sure my children were able to continue their education at this campus! we have built personal relationships with the staff and my son who struggled with learning disabilities K-5th excelled at Truman academically and personally. He is now at SGP 9th Center and has continued the same path! Thank you Truman Teachers and Admin!!”

“I really dont think it matters how hard Truman tries to be a good school, because either way there are troublemaker students, a severly-lacking staff and a low standard of safety. A teacher was arrested during a school day at this school, in the school! What kind of example does this set for our children? And think of the kids that had that person as a teacher. Truman needs a fresh start, but I doubt very much that they will be able to get one, if you are thinking about sending your child to a middle school in Grand Prairie, I strongly advise you to send them to Ronald Reagan Middle School. It is the complete opposite of Truman.”

“I had high hopes for Truman, and was unfortunately highly disappointed. I think the administrators and staff need immense training in bullying.”

“Truman Middle School is the best school to go to. Why? Because the teachers are extremely nice there plus your classes will be easier to find in that school, because that school isn't big at all.”

“The faculty at Truman work very hard to guarantee not only the quality of education but the safety of students. We have equally high standards for ourselves as professionals as we do for students. Our students are proud to be at Truman, and I hear from parents quite often who speak highly of the quality education their students are receiving. There is no reason why Truman should not be an exemplary campus within the next two or three years. I welcome anyone considering a move into the area to drop by the campus for a tour. The atmosphere is welcoming and positive. I am particularly proud of the quality of student work which a visitor can see hanging from the walls in every hallway.”

“When it comes to protecting your child this school is at the bottom of the barrel. If you value education and safety you may want to rethink about Truman.”

“Truman used to be one of the most stable schools in the district. There is now a high turnover among teachers, principals, and students. I think this has really hurt the 'Truman Pride' that used to exist, but doesn't really anymore. A lot of teachers, parents, and students are under the impression that Reagan is the 'better' school. It isn't. They have their own set of problems. What Truman needs is more parent involvement. Too many of the parents are unwilling to be involved anymore. Yes, it takes time out of your day, but what is more important than your child's education? The teachers and PTA are really trying, but it is going to take a large concerted effort to bring back the pride that once existed at Truman. These kids need to know that they are just as smart as Reagan!”

“I think this school is the best school ever! But that is my opinion. The teachers are great, the classes are great, and the kids are really great. I just think this school is the best! I love the teachers and the principal. In 6th the principal Mr.Dubuski, was cool. And in 7th for me, Mr. Brinkley was cool, too. And still is. Like I said I love this school!”
