Martin Luther King Middle School

King Middle school is nothing to brag about. The school doesn't value 8th grade achievements. This year the school board voted to buy a new school display/billboard instead of holding an 8th grade graduation. Teaching centers around the FCATS in the spring. The teachers are great but the administration could use a BIG overhaul. Don't care too much for the principal! I have 2 kids attending this school. One graduates in June the other next year. Bullying can be a problem as well. :(

East Milton Elementary School is fantastic. The school is kept clean and highly decorated by the young artists there. The staff is so kind and helpful.

It is just an ordinary middle school, not to fancy.

I don't think that this school is very effective in their approach to children with learning disabilities. My child was diagnosed with having ADHD and while some of his teachers accept and adapt to different teaching methods most still use the tried and failed way with students.

We came here from a very good school in morris alabama. I am happy to say that this school is on the same level, maybe higher. My daughters teachers have been so helpfull to her with the subjects that she has trouble with, and have even called me at home when they noticed there seemed to be something bothering her. She was concerned about my child, and that is a teacher that cares. If I had my way teaching would be the highest paid proffesion there is. Lets face it, our children are the future, and without teachers where would we be?I beleive teaching is the nobelest job and k.M.S. Teachers,we trust you with our most precious gifts. I beleive they are in good hands with you. You are an american hero.

After transfering from the West Coast to Milton Florida and experiencing what schools have to offer in california I can sincerely say we have been nothing but impressed with this school. The teachers seem to enjoy their jobs and take a interest in their students. My daughter's loves going to school and I can see why! The academic programs at this school cater to those who are advanced and yet give the extra help to those who need it. The only disappointment I have with the school district as a whole is the lack of Junior High Sports. I feel it is important for children to take pride in their school by participating and representing their school in extra-cirricular activities. Although the community as a whole has programs which enable these kids to participate in these activities.

As a single parent I have experienced many good things about the KMS. The teachers and staff have always been responsive to any questions I've had.

This school has a dress code that is not always enforced. I have seen girls wearing mini skirts while they are talking to the principal and yet nothing. Every other week they will get on a kick that they want to enforce it but it doesn't last. I have had dealings with teachers and the administration and am not pleased with either. I am going to look into private school.
