Dallastown Area Middle School

My son will be leaving to attend Dallastown High School next year and we are very excited. The Middle School has been an excellent experience for my son. He sometimes complains that they are strict, but it is not an easy task molding young teenagers. I have found the school administrators to be "approachable", they want to help if there is a problem. That goes for the guidance counselors as well. The teachers are amazing, even my son tells me that. They will communicate and work with you for whatever your childs needs may entail. They have "team meetings" so teachers can share with each other pertinent information reagarding students that may be having difficulties.

My daughter just completed three years at the middle school after being homeschooled through Grade 5. She is now a freshman at the high school and doing very well academically. She was well prepared for this high school year because of the excellent teaching received at the middle school. She learned excellent study habits that will be carried out in High School. The teachers, staff, principals, and guidance office at the middle school are excellent. This is a top notch school with plenty to offer academically and socially. Keep up the GREAT work!!

So far this year was our first year at the Middle School. I was very disappointed in... about everything. The teachers are non-supportive, and the office crew never helps with what I need or ask about. What we pay for our child's education is not worth it. Although the fact there is a helpful guidance councilor.

The school is a good school, but being one of the largest middle schools in the state of Pennsylvania, you must closely watch and monitor your child's education. You must be an advocate, or your child could get lost in the shuffle. Otherwise, there are lots of opportunities for advancement, lots of extra-curricular activities. There is good parental involvement, but it is not encouraged as it was at elementary school level. Student rowdiness is hard to keep on top of, and has been known to get out of hand, but they really do make a sincere effort to stay on top of problems. The school has experienced and will experience more diversity and growth in the coming years. The district has become more affluent in recent years, but is struggling with it's image as a suburban school from mostly rural roots.
