Middletown Middle School

MMS is a very nice school for the "New Kids On The Block". My child came to this school in the middle of the second trimester and when another kid tried to bully her, my child e-mail her teacher. Her teacher took care of the bully from the start. The teachers do take care of bullies, making the learning experience a safe and enjoyable one for my daughter. This school IS a "ZERO TOLERANCE TO BULLYING" school. This school spend more time in actual teaching (love the hands on science experiments with Mrs. K.) than punishing the kids for bad behavior. I feel my daughter is safe and respected by her teachers and peers. Thank you, God for MMS.

This review is for the school year 2010-2011, when Dan Morgan was principal. I was impressed with Mr. Morgan's leadership and responsiveness to disciplinary issues, although I had heard a contrary opinion regarding managing a bullying problem from another parent. He seemed to command respect from both parents and students, was well-liked by the students, and compassionate when it was needed. I volunteered to chaperon two school dances and was able to observe both Mr. Morita (an outstanding teacher) and Mr. Morgan at work. Great guys. Thad Owens is now principal but I can't post a review yet. I've met 4 of my son's 8th grade teachers (incl. his science teacher Jennifer Kelly, CA Teacher of the Year in 2011) and they seemed to have high academic expectations - a good thing. His 7th grade teachers were also generally above average. Many parents fret over middle school, but I think MMS and the quality of its students are well above average.
