Byron Middle School

My husband and I have sat next to our kids for a whole school day, along with 400 other parents during "Freaky Friday" for the past three years. What a wonderful program and I hope they never stop it. We were very pleased with the teacher quality and how they keep the kids engaged. The math teachers have written their own curriculum and won an award for Intel this year. We are very pleased with this school and school district.

This school is a great school, they Get IT! If you want your kids to get a well rounded education, not just skate by, do what you have to do to get them into this school system. The teachers Care! the Staff Cares! If you dont feel your kids arent getting the best education, then you are not involved.

This school is very focused on homework, homework, homework. My kids can have 3+ hours of homework per night...it is ridiculous. AI also had to fight to get the teachers to follow my daughter's IEP (state law). They spend a great deal of the year reviewing for those tests...a lot of time that should be spent teaching. I am very disappointed, especially after having such a good experience with the Elementary School. We finally pulled my one daughter out and are homeschooling until we find something more suitable for her.

The curiculum is very tough and the school is very high in tattletailing, judgemental, and clicky, fianally just took son out and he is going to an alternative sschool where he seems more happy. Our next option if this doesn't work out is to check out pine island. We have heard some good reviews about this school.

It is an awesome school. I learn a lot and have fun but I hate that we get no hallway passing time. We take a lot of tests but it keeps me busy and everyone here is so kind.

My daughter finished Kindergarten class I felt the entire time the school was preparing her for the test in third grade. Lots of testing! We have moved out of the district to a school where the focus is not testing and she is liking school again.
