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.

When I attended this school, teachers simply taught the classrooms as they needed to. Most of them did not show emotion toward the students or lesson with the exception of a few teachers who established a more social bond with the students. Teaching styles were rather bland yet concise, depending on the teacher.

I believe there was after school tutoring which shows that the administration supports and acknowledges the students who struggle. As far as clubs, the most notable was the Anime Club even though I was not a part of it. I knew a handful of students who were involved. For eight graders, we had a school dance and free time at the end of the day on a particular day near the end of the school year, filled with snacks and activities.

I think Seaside Middle School is a good school . They're electives are really good programs . The teachers are good and very supportive . Although some students are very disrespectful . Sometimes teachers are very strict and get you in trouble for no reason . Overall good school .

This school is not perfect, but then again no school is. It has flaws just like others. As a student, the first thing we students should do is complain, but if you actually think and try to understand the school you'll find out things. One thing is that there are many things that our middle school h...
