I was worried going into 6th grade about the more advanced classes, but they are actually amazing! There are many opportunities for High school credit, including Spanish 1, Biology, Algebra 1, and Geometry. Many teachers are very kind and supportive, and the majority of them (electives and core classes) seem to genuinely love their job and care about the kids. The guidance counselors are helpful and cooperative; my interactions with mine, Mr. Canoura, have always been pleasant and productive. Administration sends out weekly newsletters that (unlike others) are actually quite informative. There are lots of fun electives, including agriscience, (which was one of the most interesting and hands-on classes I’ve taken) which is unique to only this middle school in the county. I’ve found comfort in many staff members here, but I would like to specifically shout out Ms. Garner, the media specialist, for always checking up on the students, and forming connections with everyone. Overall, this is a wonderful school.

My daughter attended Pedro Menendez high school after being harassed by the disgusting children in the school. We asked for a schedule change, they agreed and when my child showed up to her schedule they put in TWO MORE CLASSES with the bullies after we stated the names of the bullies and was not only effecting her mental health but also her education.. This school still DOES NOT care about any student safety and mental health issues all they care about is dress code. Do not enroll your child here!

This school is far below the bar compared to the rest of the schools in the surrounding area.
