Milton M. Somers Middle School

Without a doubt, this school is of high quality and excellence. The bar is high and all teachers work so very hard to get the students to where they need to be. Each student is viewed as a gift -- and all staff members gently unwrap each gift -- one student at a time. No Child Left Behind is taken seriously -- as teachers go above and beyond to do whatever is needed for student success. Every minute of the day is devoted to student achievement and learning. Classroom teachers at this school make this school the success that it is! I am proud to be a part of this community!

When i was starting 6th grade, I was worried that the teachers would be hard ono me, and i wouldn't have friends. After the first 2 days, they exceeded my expectaions by a lot. All the teachers were very supportive and have great enthusiasm when they tought me. I never had any problems with bullying. All the kids were nice and i made friends quick. This is a awesome school to enrole at! Go seahawks!

I love this school, my daughter is in the 7th grade now she has been there since the 6th. Theres no issues with bullies at this school that is what i love!

This school is a great school with caring teachers and staff. Parents need to remember to take the time and talk to the staff and the teachers to make sure their children are on the right track. Milton Somers has a good mix of teachers young and experienced to provide a great balance for new trends in the learning environment and a wealth of experience. The school prides itself on the strides it takes to advance the education of the children in their classrooms.

As a parent of a student at Somers Middle School, I am very dissappointed with the overall quality or lack thereof in the school. The school lacks supplies such as supplies and other essential materials needed to foster a productive learning environment. Secondly, as a parent who actively participates in my son's educational development,I have not found most staff supportive or genuinely eager to create or maintain teams between staff and parents. Finally, I am not sure if teachers have expressed the level of enthusiasm required to meet the needs of the student population they serve. I hope that one day these issues can be resolved, but for today I am inclined to look for another school that can effectively meet my child's needs. - Nichole Weaver

Milton Somers is a sad excuse for a good caring school. They use to care about their students until this new principal. They only care for themselves and staff not for students.

I believe Milton Somers is an excellant school. In acedemic programs, it rocks. They challenge their students to excel and thats what happens. You can tell by the grades of the students. They offer plenty of extra-curricular activities for the students. They have good programs overall. And well...the teachers are top notch and the parents are involved. Overall, this school offers a high level of academics for students to excel in life. This is a five star school.

There are a lot of new teachers this year that don't seem too sure of what they are doing. The sole focus at Somers seems to be academics. The lack of extracurricular activities in the areas of dance and cheerleading handicap the girls that are moving on to high school next year. It is difficult for them to get on the dance and cheer squads at their HS without this prior experience in middle school. If they want to get it we have to get them experience outside after school which takes away from homework time. Additionally, there are no Home Economics classes at this MS. It is hard enough to keep our girls focused on school instead of boys, these programs would give them something else to look forward to at school. These extracurricular activites are available at other MS in the area, so why not at Somers?
