DEFINITELY READ THIS BEFORE ENROLLING YOUR CHILD INTO HAILE MIDDLE SCHOOL - After being identified as gifted in his elementary school with a high IQ, and taught to a contributive student in his nearby elementary school, all was undone in his first year at Haile Middle School. On his first day in computer class he experienced an issue. When he had to ask for help twice, he was told a baby could fix it and to go figure it out himself. He was devastated when he got home. This type of lack of interest from the teachers continued through two other classes. He was bullied constantly with no interest in resolution from the administration. When we picked him up for a dentist appointment, it took 40 minutes to get him to the front door and the office person showed up seeming agitated that she had to retrieve him and wearing a political campaign presidential shirt. He became detatched and unmotivated in the last quarter. We found out near the end of the year that he had missed over 20 assignments. Do you know who informed us of this from the school? NO ONE! Not a teacher, or counselor, or administrator. No one cared. We found it out on our own. This boy, with an extremely high (tested) verbal and non-verbal IQ, had to go to summer school to make up the deficit. For 7th grade, we decided to enroll our son in a different school and he was accepted! We called Haile 3 times to inform them that he would no longer be attending that school and asked for a call back. Not one single call until 3 days after classes started. That call was to tell us our child was truent and that we needed to contact the school. These middle school years are vital and I cannot recommend more strongly that you enroll your son or daughter elsewhere. He is now back to achieving almost all A's and B's with highly engaged teachers and has been welcomed into multiple after school groups.

Amazing school. Wonderful teacher, staff and fantastic principal. The school is fully equipped, safe and a pleasant place to be. My son made more progress in one year than 4 years in NY school. Special education is fantastic as well.

As a Parent of PCHS Please Dont Go To This School They Use A Terrible wifi plan and cheap chromebooks and you even cant walk on the GRASS (without getting ISS for a day or more things depend on the rule you have broken and if you do get caught you will be getting a phone call home- quoted from my daughter)
