findlay middle school has been nothing but trouble and a source of stress ever since my daughters started there. The teachers seem more immature than the students. Their dress code policies are insane. My daughters have spent more time out of school than in, due to getting kicked out for dress code. Education is not a priority in this school, which is really sad for our future. What ever you do- DON'T SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE if you love them. Close Quote
