My daughter is finishing her first year at Sligo and she has loved it. She has friends, great teachers (favorite is social studies), and participates in all the school events. Her academics have always been great but she has improved.

Sligo Middle School was such a comfortable place to go to school. It truly felt like home and I had such a great time in my attendance there. I think the security could have been much better.

I graduated from Sligo last year (2021) and I had a great experience. The school had a really amazing atmosphere and I always felt supported. I felt prepared for high school, even for the advanced program I'm in.

My child was an A student at Sligo and is now struggling in high school because she can't keep up with the work. Sligo just doesn't prepare students to work hard. They don't teach any study skills and don't challenge the kids.
