Millbrook Middle School

Dec 2005: School has excellent strengths in AP classes, French, Music, Art. Some teachers and classes are excellent in English, Math, Social Studies and History. Weaknesses in sciences and spanish (But some bright spots in these too). Re Discipline: A tendancy to accept vulgar and disrespectful behavior in students is being combatted by new principal(here 2 years now). Extracurricular music, art, and drama is great, sports variable depending on coach. Some tendancy in community to emphasize sports over academics, to my mind.

I love millbrook - my son is an athlete and just as adept in academics. We've never had problems worth mentioning and i believe it all starts at home! my boys stay busy and that seems to be the key even with our friends and their children. Thanks to all the teachers and faculty who care! we need a lot more parent involvement!

This school isn't that bad. Having such a small class size is good and bad in a way. However, it hurts so many when the bullies aren't stopped. The discipline stinks in this school. There isn't many kids, the teachers should crack down on the trouble and stop the bullies. The new principal is much better though. However, the school is losing so many great teachers.

The music program is fantastic. Craig Fryer is a brilliant music educator who has high expectations and gets great results. Millbrook's Jazz band is dynamite.

Being new to the district I find that the district has its problems. The district wants to build a new High School, but I feel that they need to improve the other buildings before building a new one. I also feel that they should include fixing the athletic fields, before even thinking about a new high school. Millbrook has alot of athletic talent that they should consider. Over all I feel that Millbrook Jr/Sr High School has some very dedicated teachers. But where ever you go, schools do have there problems.

I am a graduate of Millbrook High School, I have three children who attended the High School. A new school is not the answer to the problems here. More thought put into the basics and less on sports.

I have one child who graduated from MHS and another child who is attending the MHS. I was very pleased with the quality of education provided by MHS. The district is in need of a new facility. The facility bond was voted down twice. The school district is presently exploring putting another vote up for a new school. There is a need for a new school. I would highly recommend MHS to everyone for their academic, music, art, and sports programs.
