I'm giving this school an average score. I realize it's been 31 years but the memory still lingers. On average Mrs. Allen was a good teacher but one day out of many where she didn't citicize, she singled me out. She said to the class a few days before, if anyone is talking and disturbing your studies then tell me. I did just that and she told me to stand in front of her, in front of the class when she said, "Tattle tale!!!""Children, this is a tattle tale, get a good look at him!" I felt horrible which may have lent itself to my mental illnesses later in life. Not all good things are said about teachers. If that were true, we all would be giving 5 stars to everybody. The name is important and God Bless You Mrs. Allen because I forgive you.
Teachers really care; learning environment is open and children who have special needs are given lots of opportunties.
The principal (Judy) is a wonderful person and leader. A very progressive school - forward thinking.
My kids learn a lot from this school. They have alot of nice teachers like the music and art teachers. I'm glad my children like this school.
Two of my children graduated from Middlegate. I was very pleased with the academic focus of this school.
While there may be helpful faculty at this school, there are also problems with the guidance dept. The good teachers seem to leave there in droves. Wonder why?
