I loved a lot of my teachers at this school. But some are not as active in making sure that all of their students understand lesson material. And I really think it was messed up that some teachers would yell, if not just right out scream, at children. Some of the children were rowdy, but as the adult in the situation, I do think that some of them should have handled these situations differently.

Twain was better than most middle schools in my community. There were many great teachers and faculty.

Spent K-8 here and I'm glad did not go to school elsewhere. I loved most of my teachers and I still like to catch up with them when I volunteer. I really appreciated the music/art program they offered. I received a great education from Mark Twain and I highly recommend this school.
