4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son went here for 4 years and had a learning disability. He had good teachers and people who worked with him, we never had an issue with him disliking any teachers or being bullied. The only issue I had was my son kept getting sick. It was an almost weekly thing because parents sending there kids to school sick because they did not want to keep them home because they did not want to deal with them or did not want to miss work. When you send your sick child to school it effects other children.Parent Review9y ago - Page County Middle School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school provided substandard education for my child who managed to excel despite poor teacher retention and marginally qualified substitute teachers for several classes, one for almost the entire year in a core class. Some Excellent teachers that have taught in the County for years are considering leaving this school due to administration.Parent Review15y ago
