This school is terrible. There is little to no communication between parents and staff, except when they want money from us for the countless fundraising/raffle/etc that is constantly being sponsored. THOSE papers always seem to come home. However, there are never set plans and most teaching staff (while being nice people) seem to be hamstrung by ineffectiveness either designed or otherwise. Homework is not really emphasized as something of importance, but the children certainly get zeros for it. The creativity of the students is actively stifled at an alarming pace. I'm surprised that they have not yet found a way to put all our children on drugs and just collect paychecks. Oh, wait, they are. If I could rate them negative stars I would rate them negative one bajillionteen stars. I've never been wanted at the building, if you even walk your child inside they get alarmingly hostile towards your presence unless you're buddies with the receptionist which always seems to have a crowd of closed doors around her. (Closed doors in this case being people you can't just walk through, use your noggin.) My child has had a hell of a time in Ona and she was a very good student elsewhere.

This is my school (Milton Middle School). It's great! The layout of this school, unlike many others, is very easy to remember. Basically, there is an entrance hall with the gym and cafeteria coming off of it and the music hall as well, containing the orchestra, band, choir, and general music classes. Another hallway coming off of the entrance hall is the main hallway, having another three hallways coming off of that: the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade hallways. Each hallway has a bathroom, including the main and entrance. In the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade hallways each have two of the following classes: arithmatic (basic, pre-algebra, etc.), language arts, science, social studies, and reading. Also, along the main hallway, there is a Spanish 1 class for advanced readers who have great reading scores on the WESTEST2 (local standardized test) where the go to Spanish 1 instead of reading, and advanced reading and language arts classes. Along the main hallway, also, are a few special education classes and a TAG class. There are also related arts classes such as FLEX (foreign language exploratory), health, art, oral communications (only middle school in area), and Tech Ed. There's also a library.

My experience at Cabell Midland started out rocky, but as the years passed, I learned to love the school, and the students/educators in it. I had/have the sweetest counsellor who will check up on me, even during the whole pandemic. I miss Cabell Midland, and I should be graduating from the schools this year. Go knights
