Macon Middle School is one of the best schools I have ever seen! They have great staff and a great system. You are always welcome there, and as a new student I want to tell you coming from a small school I thought it would be really hard, but with the support I got, it has been wonderful! THe band is awesome, the math is perfect for all levels, and everyhting else meets right up with it! I guaruntee if you're looking for a good school, this is it!
