There are many fights at this school. Bullying is a major problem. Teachers appear out of it and not too happy to be there. Admin has many problems they are dealing with all at once that it seems neverending and as if most things do not truly get resolved.

I am currently ending my time here at Postlethwait, and I have had a good time. The bullying and drama is a bad issue within the students, and some of the teachers do not help the students as much as they should. I would say that the admins take great care of the students here. The one thing the school focuses on is acedemics and equity, and I think they successfuly did that. I would not say this is THE BEST middle school, but I think it was a great one.

The teachers are caring, knowledgeable, communicate diligently, and enjoy their profession. Leadership is solid. Bullying is little to non-existent at Postlethwait. My child is very happy and successful here. His teachers have brought him from on grade level reading to pre-college level reading with...

Postlethwait is a terrific school. The school leadership and the staff are very responsive. My daughter is in her last year at PMS and loves the school and the teachers.
