[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wondering about the afterschool activities at Hamm…is there anything in the way of STEM activities?

How is the school culture in general? Are the behaviors/bullying about on par as those found in other middle schools, better, worse? TIA[/quote]

There are a few STEM activities.

Not sure how it compares with other MSs but there is some bad stuff happening - fights, vaping, etc. They seem on top of it though and I’ve heard of kids getting suspended so it seems like it’s being managed. I only hear things second hand though so take it with a grain of salt.

There are STEM activities. Your student needs to be able to sign up and go to them on their own on the right day, but they have several after school activities.

I have a 6th grader and he hasn't reported any vaping, fights...and it's not at all out of the realm of the realistic that he'll be involved in that nonsense some day. But for now, there's been no chatter about it. The 6th graders are kinda kept apart from the older kids, though.

No reports of bullying either. [/quote]
