Academically, Paul Hadley Middle School has faced some challenges, with its ILEARN test scores in English Language Arts and Math consistently below the state and district averages. However, the school's Biology End of Course (EOC) proficiency rate is significantly higher than the district, suggesting a potential strength in science education.

What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, February 23, 2010

My oldest child is a 7th grader at Paul Hadley. Neither my wife nor I are from Mooresville and we are absolutely appalled. A's are handed out like candy, there are daily fights in the halls, students making out between classes. At school dances, kids make out on the dance floor and actually touch very inappropriately while 7 teachers "chaperone" the dance. There is no discipline at the school which would begin to explain the horrible test scores. Close Quote
