The teachers are willing to help you and they do offer High School courses for those who are on the accelerated track.

I mean im pretty sure it was an averge middle school, the students in the area were nice and i could make friends, the use of technology was minimal, and i had a few teachers quit or do the bare minimum and get fired. The test scores were okay and the spirits were high. There were many clubs for students in the gifted program. The sports team was the best in the area. I would totally pick this school again.

Another thing is how t...
