Hilton Head Middle School

i love this schoolbesides the fact that there is skillstutor and that i feel that it just is a subsitute for a teacher to teach! you cant turn to someone for help! and it is also very hard if you do not have a compuher at home, because ifyou stay after school then you can only stay for 30 minutes and you dont want to go to the public libary and sit for hours when you have other homework too! overall i love this school! i really love the keyboarding!!!!!!

I used to go there and I didn't like it at all. The classes are huge, and unless you grow up in that school, the teachers seem to pay no attention to you. The school is really confusing also. The hallways are all mixed together, and I got lost a lot. I can't even remember doing homework in here either. The only thing I remember doing is drawing a poster for History class. I definitely wouldn't recommend this school.

The high staff turnover and the low test scores speak volumes. The administration is nonchalant about the issues and they are rarely available The graffeti in the bathrooms is graphic and disgusting and remains despite complaints. There is no provision for safety for the few groups that meet after 4:00. The doors are locked and there is no access to a phone. Needless to say parents who can afford priviate schools opt for that.

Hilton Head Middle has been a fantastic school for my daughter and her friends. They love the freedom here, yet still folow the strict guidelines. The music, art, and sports programs and electives here are very entertaining for my daughter, and she loves it! Parents and the PTA Staff here are very involved, and always have fundraisers and after-school programs to support the school and student. Rachel enjoys going to school- and she wouldn't trade HHMS for the world!

Hilton Head Middle School is an excellent school with a great staff that is VERY responsive to parental concerns. The AdMin works hard @ making the campus safe and making the education of our children a priority. The parental involvement is strong and encouraged. Discipline is tight and the consequences are well spelled out. The teachers that we have encountered have been very open and interested in our child's progress and willing to go the extra mile to ensure his success. This is our 2nd year at the school and I have been extremely pleased with our son's experience so far.

I have a daughter who has just completed the 6th grade and she had a series of great teachers with a few acceptions, but no school is perfect. She had a great education and was asked to go to JrNYLC for her academics. I think that this school offers so much if the student has a thirst for knowlege, it doesnt have to be a ton either. She has two younger brothers who look foward to going to this school.

My son is in the 6th grade and I think the teachers feel they are too good to teach these student. They spend more time screaming at them and scaring them than getting to know them and help and teach them. My son has never had any trouble with teachers til this year when we moved here last fall.

'This school is amazing! My oldest daughter, Kelsey goes to this school an she loves it. I think this school provides a safe atmosphere which is great because if she feels safe going there, I feel safe taking her there.They have a great staff. She has some wonderful and caring teachers, as well as a caring principal. They also have a strict disiplne system as well. I have decided that when they are old enough,I will send her two little sisters there as well.'

Both of my children went through this school and we had a very good experience. I always felt my children were safe and that the faculty cared about their well-being. They received an excellent education in a nurturing environment.
