Childersburg Middle School continues to have outstanding test scores, dedicated staff and great leadership. CMS is a school that knows when to get serious and when to reward students for their hard work. Teachers genuinely care about the students and their personal success. Students who struggle are given individualized instruction. Great place to send your child to middle school!


Posted September 10, 2008

The administrators, faculty, and staff at CMS are dedicated to the students and this community. We stress the value of education, technology, and relevant learning opportunities. The environment is friendly and caring. I very much enjoy being on this faculty and striving to make a difference in each student's life. I wouln't want to teach anywhere else!!

My daughter enjoys her teacher and the classroom. She has excelled in all academics and conduct and CMS is sure to reward these students with different things. This helps these students feel proud of doing the right thing.
