The school that goes by the name of Pikeview Middle School is nothing less than sublime. The teachers are wonderful, very intelligent, and friendly. They treat all students with love and respect. My many peers can at times be ornery, but for the most part, they are absolutely splendid. The school's band is absolutely astounding. Every sports team is full of spirit and talent. While us students do not enjoy school in general, we can all agree that we couldn't pick a better school. Close Quote
