5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe school isn't terrible but isn't the best. Lots of rude kids and a good amount of fights but there are some really nice teachers. I was able to make a good amount of friends but that also led to drama and fights. Not the worst middle school experience but a lot could be fixed.Student Review5y ago - Demarest Elementary School
