I did love Irmo Middle School. I loved my teachers, I loved all the options I had, it felt very freeing and I had the opportunity to experience that at Irmo Middle School. It was nice to meet all kinds of new people and still being able to focus on schoolwork, but also grow my social circle, especially before high school. The facilities and overall cleanliness of the school could use some work, but other than that I truly did love Irmo Middle.
