Awesome school! Teachers always go the extra mile! Kids are great and help make the school fun.

I am in eighth grade at this school and it's okay, i guess. Teachers don't always pay attention to the students and can be unfair sometimes. The principal is a little ridiculous sometimes. Other than that it's an average school.

I go to this school and i think its great, if people are too strict school isnt fun for kids to learn in ( i think ) the teachers have good relationships with the students because a lot of them can relate to us. our principle is fine and everyone loves this school and i think it desurves a much better grade than a 6.

Hello...I am not a parent. But I did go to this school my sixth grade year back in '97. I have to say that Mattacheese Middle School was my most favorite school out of all the schools I have been throughout my life. I moved around all of my life and out of all of them it is my favorite. Now I am on my way off to college in West Virginia. Continue the good work by keeping my old school such a wonderfull and welcoming school. Thank you!
