My son had a language delay, but with the support and dedication of the outstanding teaching staff, he made remarkable progress and is now able to speak fluently. I observed a significant and rapid development in his language skills within just one year

Diley middle school is an awesome school that I went to, there were pros and cons, yet there were so many pros when compared to cons, This school had an insane amount of classmates that were positive, there would be so many kids that would support eachother, even my accuquaintances had driven a significant impact on me, there were many supportive students. Another thing about this school was that the teachers were supportive, kind, inspiring, and taught in amazing and understandable ways. Even if you didn't qualify for gifted services, such as learning 7/8 math or 6th grade math early, there was enrichment that challenged you, or taught you material that you wouldn't learn during class such as integers, polynomials, binomials, etc.. The school had amazing events too, obviously you had to earn it by having PRIDE, especially good behavior, and the school provided many clubs such as NPFH, Robotics, Chess, PRIDE, Bowling Girls, and the specials teachers were kind, I can't think of a moment where all 4 special teachers were mean, they were pretty cool.Obviously a school would have to come with cons, and one of the cons has emotionally affected me even more while I was going through adversity, but it depends, this won't affect 95% of students, it was just unexpected. During my 6th grade year of DMS, my science teacher wasn't the best, she would not always give students chances even if they were going through something sometimes, and it was hard to communicate with her after school hours, even if I sent her a email, she wouldn't respond back, she even told me to say what I wrote to her in a email I sent her earlier, and I wouldn't feel comfortable at all. She also was picky with the students, even had bias. There was a lot of drama, I wasn't involved in drama, my friends would just tell me but it was surprising to how far the drama got to.My 5th grade school year at DMS was amazing, all 3 teachers kept a lot of effort into their teaching, the teachers prepared us a lot and were extremely kind, Ms.Hayes + Ms.Turner + Ms.Lee, went above and beyond especially when some of my classmates doubted themselves, they gave a hand to those students and helped them through adversity.I will be graduating from DMS, any future readers that see this review, whether is has been 5 years, or even 10 years, I hope you enjoy Diley Middle School, or as I say, Ridgeview Middle School, and I hope you enjoy the upcoming school building, and the teachers. 7/8MATHSTUDCLASS OF 2032
