Mint Hill is a great school. I recommend, Mrs. Hughes (Science), Mrs. Shoup (Science), Mrs. Cummins (Math), Mrs. Neff (Math), and Ms. Bostleman. Amazing school, great people, and wonderful academics. I'm moving to Chapel Hill, and I'm going to miss this school so much.

I'm very happy with Mint Hill Middle. The principal is always on top of communicating updates through weekly newsletters and phone calls. I get a few calls every week with announcements or updates. The student support is great, both through teachers providing extra time for tutoring and the guidance counselors being available to talk through any issues. I have two daughters, one who has moved on to high school and one who is currently in 7th grade and I've had nothing but good experiences in dealing with the staff here. The campus is always clean and well maintained.

My family is looking to purchase a home. This is the middle school for the area. I have concern for my son because he stutters. I wonder if that will be an issue or will there be teachers to take up for him. How are the kids at this school. Ive heard alot about the teachers but not the conduct of the children there. Do the principal have a hand on the students their. I'm not wanting to purchase a home and don't like the school. By the way,how is the Butler high why I'm asking these questions.

As a student I mostly recomend this school because it is a lot of fun. Especialy Ms. Campbell's class. She uses treats to make us involved more in math and stuff like that. But mostly its because it is a lot of fun!

This school is a cool school to go to. There are many great teachers such as ms. Ebra, ms. Kanuck and mr. Dellinger.

I am an 8th grader at mint hill middle and I really like the school. I would say the three most fun activities at my school are going to dances, sports games, and hoops for heart. Our hoops for heart are games during our elective classes. The profits of the games are donated to the american heart association to help find a cure for heart disease. The games are held in memory of mr. John Guion. Our spirit week is also fun at school.

I forgot to mention the tri-weekly updates on student's progress and the weekly newsletters (I consider them love letters) from the principal. If a parent doesn't know what's going on at MHMS, it is through no fault of the staff.

MHMS is exemplary in every way. The staff are experienced and supported by administration. This frees them to focus on imaginitive instruction with emphasis on individual performance. Communication with parents is excellent; the principal sends a weekly newsletter and all teacher emails receive a response within 24 hours. Every teacher offers tutoring one day a week. Parent involvement at this school is phenomenal. I have been involved with PTA and SLT for 9 years at various schools and never have I seen such generosity from parents with regard to time and resources. Safety is never a concern for me, I know that my son is safe at this school. MHMS was a 'National School to Watch' in 2005. Educators from around the country toured our school to learn ways to model their excellence. Need I say more?!

About the tests


In 2011-2012 North Carolina used End-of-Grade (EOG) tests to assess students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in reading and math, and grades 5, 8, and 10 in science. The EOG is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of North Carolina. Students must pass the grade 8 EOG test in order to graduate from high school. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level on the tests.
