My child attended this school for several years and continued to do well academically, consistently making the honor roll throughout. However, despite their success, we faced ongoing issues with disruptive students who had repeated patterns of behavior year after year. Several incidents were serious enough to require reverse evacuations in the classroom, which became increasingly concerning. Along with frequent teacher turnover and inconsistent leadership, we also never truly felt included in the school community, even though we volunteered for many events and activities over the years. Ultimately, the school no longer aligned with what we needed for our child's education and overall well-being.

We have had 3 kids go through and each has had a wonderful experience. Teachers & Staff work hard to get to know students.The school runs smoothly and the Admin couldn't be easier to work with. I would highly recommend Explorer Middle School.

I’ve been very disappointed with this school’s decision to allow a student club called Turning Point to operate on campus, distribute Trump propaganda, and promote speakers like Charlie Kirk. In my view, this organization spreads hate, division, and intimidation, not healthy civic discussion.What concerns me even more is that the school has already had to remove controversial content tied to this group—messages like “wear your MAGA hat to school today”—and there have been posts/supportive messaging around ICE, which is deeply inappropriate and polarizing in a school environment.I understand that people have different political beliefs. But school should not be a platform for political propaganda, especially in a diverse campus with students from many different nationalities and backgrounds. Allowing a club that repeatedly promotes inflammatory and divisive messaging is, frankly, outrageous and creates a hostile environment for students who already feel vulnerable.I would like to know:•What standards the school uses to approve and monitor student clubs•How the school is ensuring this club is not promoting harassment or political intimidation•What safeguards are in place to protect students from targeted or discriminatory messagingThis situation needs to be addressed.
