Morey Middle School

My child is the happiest I have ever seen her since she began attending Morey. It is an extremely diverse school with lots of afterschool activities available. The teachers are enthusiastic, creative, and energetic.

I am a parent of an HGT girl. I love the small school within a larger school feel of the program. My student really enjoys sports at Morey and there is good team spirit. She's had a couple of less than stellar teachers but most have been great. The community liaison is terrific, too.

Im a high strides student at morey and I love it! A lot of the teachers here are really cool. The classwork and homework is pretty challenging but I still finish it and get good grades on it. I think this is a great school for all kids.

My daughter is finishing her 3rd year at Morey. We chose over Hamilton and Hill and are pleased. Parents and staff have been pushing several new initiatives and the principal has empowered us for successful implementation. [Contact the parent liaison, Karen Duell to learn more.] The High Strides, motivated kids, is linking up with high schools moving to a 'pre-AP' program. There is an AVID program for students who need more basic skills assistance. This fall there will be a special 'intersession' module when teachers present learning workshops on areas of interest. The shining star of all is the Morey Urban Partnership, with the many urban resources in the greater downtown area. Re discipline issues, I think they are everywhere but I do believe they try to be on top here. I am a satisfied parent with a background in education. Teachers engage her and give a reasonable amount of HW

I had high expectations coming into Morey and they haven't been met. The parent liason does a great job in keeping the parents informed via email of overall events but I find the guidance staff and administration communication skills a nightmare to deal with. They are unresponsive and not proactive. My child has an impression that the school is segregated and I think there is above average fighting and issues. It does not seem well run and I am disappointed with the teacher involvement.
