Overall, I've really loved the community of students and teachers and I believe that it's made me into the person that I am. While the community is great, in the last year or so the administration has made some choices which both the students and teachers aren't too happy about. I would like to see them give back more power and choices to student bodies like the SCA, and allow us to enjoy events such as the school's Spirit Week instead of policing the rules and not following what was sent out on the fliers.

My experience with Millwood has been amazing, I really feel like I can embrace who I am and I can truly say I have grown so much since I started here. The support you feel from teachers are genuinely available for anything you need, even if it isn't for their class or your teacher currently. The academics is challenging but manageable because of the support and help from teachers and peers.

Millwood has been a game-changer for me. I never felt like I fitted in at my other schools until I started going here. I wouldn't change that for anything. The teachers are so caring and do whatever they need to help a student, to help us feel welcomed. The people here are so nice and everyone is friends with everyone else. They make sure that everyone is getting a great hands-on learning style.

Millwood has been a fantastic fit for our child in so many ways. They've grown into a confident speaker, thanks to the school's strong emphasis on public speaking across all grade levels.
