The school is located beside Sheldon High School, and parents said the bullying is happening on and off campus at the nearby trail that many students use to get to and from school.
Lopez said she feels helpless as her eighth-grade son spends another day home instead of in the classroom to avoid middle school bullies.
Lopez claims her son was attacked on the trail while walking home from school at the end of the last school year. She now drives him to and from school and was hopeful things would change in the new school year.
"They go through bullying and unfortunately, they don't reach out to anybody and then they make that mistake that can't be unfixed," said John, who said his child is getting bullied at the middle school.
The first incident the principal communicated was about students from the middle and high school notifying staff at Sheldon High that a student allegedly threatened them with a gun off campus.
"Children should be made to feel like they are safe to be able to come to school and get an education," John said.
"The victims are the ones to be made to feel uncomfortable when it should be the other way around," John said.
"I feel like we haven't been heard," Lopez said. "I feel like my son hasn't been heard."
"Our school administrative team is aware of the recent reports concerning the trail near Smedberg Middle School," the school district's statement said. "School Resource Officers and Safety Specialists may not always be present on the trail during drop-off and dismissal, however, if a concern is reported in advance, they adjust their coverage to make sure they have a presence."
The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office said it is aware of the area near Smedberg Middle School being a busy chokepoint during pick-up and drop-off times, as other schools in the area share similar times.
