Cawley Middle School is a great school with many opportunities. My child goes to this school and is having an amazing time. The band of Cawley is especially outstanding. They have been A rating for 9 years in a row. Hopefully this year they will become A rating again.

The teachers bring out the best in each and every one of the students and are always willing to go the extra mile. Let's not forget the amazing Principal Mr. Steve Harrises!

i think david r cawley middle school is one of the best schools ever. students have so much fun and learn so much at the same time. From what i've heard from my kids and their friends they really feel like their school and the people there are people they really feel comfortable around and are like a second family. the extra curricular activities are outstanding and have great student and staff involvment. the schools band is awesome along with the chorus. Kids i know who go there only wish theycould stay longer than the short time of three school years! other than that this hooksett school is absolutly the best!
