It's really a great school I am going there right now. I didn't give it five stars because I go there, i gave it five stars because, it has great academics, it has good teachers, the staff there is strict but very fun, and the classes are great. The theater arts program is fantastic!!! The tennis team is outrageous!!! The volleyball team could beat any team in a heartbeat!!! The football team is so fast and manipulative that they play tricks on the field so the other team thinks that this person has the ball when that person has the ball!!! Anyways I would reccomend Hutchinson middle school to anyone anywhere!!! It's a great school your kids will love it here!!! Close Quote
