Don’t let the haters bring you down, Milton High is the epitome of bliss, joy, and greatness. It is like if you took a Hawaiian Roll and personified the greatness of the taste into a school. Milton excels in Football, I hear the Freshman team has a great player that goes by Ernie.

This review comes only after 6 years of watching our kids fight to stay above average. With a revolving door with English teachers and a poor work ethic, my review would go as far as D+ or C-. Students are told they are being taught to get ready for high school, yet the adults themselves fall far short of acting like even a middle school. Its is now (after covid) ok to rely mainly on the parents for extra work amd even credible study guides. Using computer programs and playing games. In no way are they doing anymore than what is required. Even as I write this, final exams were changed the day of and switched. How is this allowed. Kids studied for say history and math, come to school and find out they have been switched to English and science. Does this not give the opportunity to study? Please dont tell me to study all courses as at every level, students get the opportunity to know when a test is to be taken. This isnt a pop quiz, this is a final. You can forget any syllabus or grades in a reasonable time. For an example or how the doubles standards are; Student A is given a zero for not tuning in work. This is normal. Yet the teacher did not tell student A that when he/she missed class they must do this specific make up work. To boot, the teacher can not run a professional syllabus? "Do as I say and not as i do?" Avalon middle with a 47%-51% reading proficiency is continuously going down hill and have come to use excuses without any change in behavior or action. Sitting at a B rating is obviously skewed and doesnt say much when Florida ranks in the bottom 15% in the nation. Wake up America. Id love for teachers fo make more money and maybe that would help. The school boards or teachers are shooting themselves in the foot with laziness after the pandemic. Its hard to get a raise when your own performance is going down. Performance based rasies should be implemented and be worth the work. We will be removing our kid from smthis school and if we must we will remove them from public schools. To be frank... this good Ole boy system and pretending that avalon middle is even on par with others like it, can be summed up by saying "bull".

My child attends this school and we’ve had a very positive experience so far. The teachers are caring and supportive, and the school provides a safe and welcoming environment for students. Communication with parents has been good, and I can see real effort from the staff to help students succeed. My child is happy here, which is the most important thing for us as a family. Overall, I believe this is a good school, and I would recommend it to other parents in the area.
