More imphasis is put on the athletic program and not enough on the music program. I'm questioning some of the cerdentials of the teschers as well.

CLoudcroft MS may be the best public middle school in the entire state, if not the region. A superb principal, great teachers, a very safe environment, no gangs and minimal drugs. We moved to this community for this school, and we're glad we did.
