Correia staff and personnel deal effectively with this age group; the students are not treated as 'big kids', but rather as 'young adults', and are held accountable for their behavior. Correia brought my 'B' average student to the next level. Because of the good learning environment at Correia,

Correia Middle was by far the worst school I have ever attended. There no clubs, student organizations, or sports for the students and the honors program can hardly be considered 'honors'. Students do not follow the dress code and what is worst, the teachers simply do not bother to enforce it. I would

This year it seems Corriea has taken a step back. Developing consistent communication with teacher has been very difficult. I would encourage parents to avoid this school.

The teachers at Correia are outstanding. They truly care about all students and offer great clubs i.e. surf club, asb, tutoring and computers. Technology is an intregal part of every classroom and students learn to use technology as a tool to problem-based learning. The counseling staff works hard

The administration is very responsive to student needs and communicates regularly with parents through bi-monthly newsletters sent out in 'eblasts' and monthly parent meetings There is a great arts program too. Music, art and drama have been a part of the curriculum for many years...even when other schools dropped the arts.

My daughter attended Correia last year, and is excited to be attending next year for 8th grade. Teachers are great, and happy to spend time talking with you about your child and his/her progress. Awesome librarian, and the library is 1st rate. Full-time nurse on staff (elementaries have a nurse

Caring and attentive counseling staff. Correia is pretty much a continuation of the great programs offered at Dana. Correia gets a 'bad rap' - mostly from the rumor-mill of parents who have never had a child attend there. Maybe many years ago Correia was not good, but the Correia staff has really stepped up to make Correia into a terrific school. Parents of future 7th/8th graders: Do not be afraid of Correia!
