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.

The teachers alway care about you weather it is at home or in school they are welcome to give advise. They try to be harsh sometimes but that is because they want you to succeed in life. The try to prepare you for high school and college at the same time.

I have loved my experience at Poynter middle school. The staff are just as supportive as i imagined. I participated in a couple of the school plays and I really enjoyed it. I'm so sad to be leaving this school so soon, but I wish the best of upcoming poynter students!
