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.

I had a great time during my enrollment into Colonial Middle School. When I first got there, it was hard because I had just transferred there my 7th grade year and I didn't know anybody, but I was welcomed with open arms from a lot of people. Since it was a performing arts school, my focus was on Vocal Music. The instructor, Mr. Roland Wilson, was a wonderful teacher and was very kind most of the time. He would sometimes be very hard on us, but I knew what I was getting into when I joined. If I could be a part of music, I would do anything to be a part in it. He would help us to the best of our abilities, and a lot of times we would have to figure the music out for ourselves. We would get in trouble every now and then, and we might screw up a few times, but he always believed in me and my classmates. I couldn't have asked for a greater teacher than he.
