5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is excellent. The staff is amazing, caring and well educated. They go above and beyond to educate the students and involve parents. Leadership is fantastic and it really is the best school in the dekalb school district. In reference to the garbage dump on the other side of the expressway, the school installed a system that monitors the air inside and outside every day. There are no air quality issues. The one day there was a problem, waste management hit a gas pocket while digging. It was not anything that has ever been repeated.Again, I would not want my kids in any other school.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAwful. This school praises kids from mediocrity and does little to award actual accomplishment. I am glad that Covid-19 has allowed me to learn on my own for the most part for the second half of my junior year.Student Review5y ago - Huntley Middle School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI'm a student here in huntley. This School has its ups and downs. the teachers are mostly nice, there are some Ok teachers but, other than that this is a pretty good school. they have this thing called web leaders. where 8th graders help 6th graders learn what middle school is about. they have a decent amount of clubs. the students aren't very nice to the teachers tho. for example, if a student is on their phone during class and a teacher tells them to put it away. The student will either talk back and get sent to the office, or Put it away and Whispers some questionable things under their breath. they have great field trips. and i believe the education here too. They food is not that great. they have the same food everyday, with one extra meal that's different every day. The meals are always chicken patties and nachos. The only good meal is the biscotti sticks. Anyway, they have big tests for high school and prep you well. i recommend, but, there are lots of fights, not like everyday, but yea, 1 to 2 per week. That i know of. and i also don't see any bullying and if i did, i would either top it, or they would stand up for themselves. But overall i give this a 3-4 star school.Student Review3y ago
