I have an 8th grader and a 6th grader in the Middle School. The teachers work really hard to teach the kids while keeping their attention. And they succeed! My oldest was able to take the Algebra Keystone exam in 7th grade and scored Advanced along with many of his classmates. Both my 8th grader and 6th grader scored advanced on their PSSAs even with the new scoring. I know a lot of that is in thanks to their teachers.

Overall we are really pleased with the Middle School. The teachers and administrative staff go a long way in making it a fantastic school. Close Quote
