Madison Creek Elementary and T.W. Hunter Middle School are the best schools to put your children into.They have a lot of activities for the students that are also educational.These two schools earn a very large amount of rewards and prizes each year.Teachers and staff participate in activities with the students and are very commited.Teachers and staff also help your child when they have a problem or need someone to talk to. They help your child grow in individuality,confidence,intelligence,and help them make friends. The teachers here will help student to meet their needs and achievements.I would recommend this school any day! I hope you send your children here! This is a very nice school that lets you be yourself. There are related arts,band,and choir/chorus. This is a very welcoming school!There are many fundraisers and activities.

As a parent of 2 middle schoolers, I am very impressed with Hunter Middle School and the involvement of the faculty and staff with the students. It is nice to be able to be an involved parents. We are happliy commenting on the contact from teachers via internet or in person on the progress of our middle schoolers. This is a true community school.

As a teacher at T.W. Hunter Middle School, I can say that safety is of utmost importance to the administration. On a different note, Hunter is filled with school spirit, great teachers, and challenging curriculum that is tailored to individual student needs. There is always room for growth, so I will only post 4 stars...however, this is an excellent school!

I cannot say enough about what a wonderful middle school this is. My child went to Hunter for her 7th and 8th grade years, and I was definitely impressed. We pulled her out of private school due to the expense, and we found ourselves getting better teachers, administrators and a superb facility. The teachers challenged her to do her best, and continued to uphold the academic integrity for which the school is known. The teachers were proactive in parent contact as well. The school is academically challenging and a warm environment all at the same time. I would say Hunter is one of the best schools in the state. GO BUCS!

My Oldest daughter is presently going to Hunter. The new Middle School was finished this past year and it seems to me to be in one of the top school systems in our state as well as surrounding states. I went to this school graduated from Beech High in 1990 and yes as all schools go they have their problems but when you get down to it I would not have my child go anywhere else. This is a close nit school system I would recommend.
