GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

As a 2013 graduate, its safe to say that Diplomat Middle School broke me out of my shell. I experimented with a variety of clubs, especially Orchestra class, which I fell in love with the first day of school. My director even told me I was "a natural" on the violin. From the blurred whirlpool of memories I had, some are fireflies, flickering earnestly for remembrance. For instance, I remember the beaming faces of the audience at the Wildcat Talent Show after I performed "The Wind Beneath My Wings" on the piano; the waves of giggles through the science classroom when our teacher elaborated on funny, real-life stories based on what we've just learned; the focused silence and welcoming, woody scent of the school library where I discovered many books that I still cherish to this day. Diplomat Middle just has a charm in its navy, paw-printed corridors that I don't think any other school had. It was just...inviting; it encouraged you to go outside of your comfort zone and explore yourself with different clubs, arts, sports and classes. If I could experience Diplomat Middle all over again, I certainly wouldn't mind doing so in the least.

She has turned in assignments on time as always, and the 6th grade teacher Sandra Villela does not grade them in a timely manner. A week will pass, my daughter follows up and n...

Let’s start with the dress code, it used to be fine but then they changed it. Everyone has to wear collared shirts!! What about the families with low income who can’t afford a new wardrobe for their child. I also don’t find it very good that we can’t have any rips in our jeans. If the guys at the sc...
