Midland Academy

I dont know why the rating has dropped from 8 to 6 within a year. My daughter is in 2nd grade and she has been doing very good. Her teacher Ms. Hardcastle is really very outstanding and very hardworking. Also all my mails to her were always promptly answered. She really has an impact on all students and my child has learn many things from her. I was never forced to do any fundraising. Her other teachers for music,PE, and art were good. There were not much of extracurricular activities for a second graders , maybe the afterschool had some. Overall I had a very good experience here but sad that I have to leave because we are moving from here. All the best to Midland school and thanks to all the teachers and the principal.

Not happy with this school at all. The school is focused on everything but education. Teachers do not communicate with parents much. I had to goto the classroom to find out what they were learning and what texts they were using. This school is far below average. Teachers are uncaring and just go through the motion day-to-day. Their top priority is safety which is good but it's to the point where it's annoying. Very disappointed with this school and we're looking to transfer out kids.

Great principal and Vice Principal but HORRIBLE teachers . The teachers are rude and do not put the children first. They also have social groups and are more worried about each other then the students. My children have gone their for two years glad to see them go to a new school!

My children attended Midland Academy last year. This is a great school if you're not concerned about your child's education, and you enjoy fundraisers. The Principal was extremely rude and unprofessional. My children no longer attend.

I loved this school when we first moved here. The principal, Rocky Wilson, retired and I think this school has gone down since. I do not like the new principal at all. She does not return phone calls or emails and is in general not very friendly. I've had mostly good experiences with the teachers except 5th grade. I have found that the teachers won't have a lot of communication with you unless you contact them first. They are usually pretty good about getting back to you. The Special Ed teacher and Speech teacher are top notch, however. They are the reason I gave the 4 star rating instead of only 3. Mrs. Boutwell goes above and beyond for her speech students. Mrs. Tatum does her best to help out students that aren't in her classroom when asked to.

I love this school. My daughter's teacher last year was great. Miss McCarty really made my daughter's transition from our move to the school smooth. The office staff and principal are very helpful and friendly. The only place for improvement would be better organization of the pick-up procedure of car riders.

Midland is a fantastic school. The teachers are very caring and encouraging. The Principal and Vice Principal are some of the best i have seen. They are really involved and its amazing to see them in the hall ways in the morning greetings the kids by there names. Although this school has a large population they still try to learn about every student.

I get more charity fundriaser papers home than I do my childs work. I don't like that so much pressure is put on the kids to participate in all of the fundraisers....like if they don't bring money in to do a charity walk they have to sit in a classroom and do extra work. I would see money rasied and go to the teachers for supplies and basic needs of the school instead.

We love Midland! This is my daughter's second year. I am very involved in PTA. I have never seen an organization so involved as I found here. The teachers are great and the principal is friendly and always available to everyone...including the children. I am sorry to say that we are moving to FL in a few months. I want to stay at Midland. I hope to have a great experience in FL as I did here.

Midland Academy is the best school in Muscogee County in my opinion. My children have attended other schools but this one by far out ranks the others. The teachers are helpful and considerate. They are always willing to meet with me by phone, in person, and always by email. I have come to feel a part of the Midland family as well as my children. My oldest child was labeled a problem by his previous school. Once at Midland he blossomed and was no longer a problem for anyone. My middle child received a challenge while at Midland. That same challenge has not been met in middle school. She is now bored. My youngest has had very supportive teachers who have met with his learning problems every step of the way. I know Midland is the best place for children!
