No school is perfect, especially a middle school, but I am so happy I am in this one. I can be myself here, and I can learn. A few teachers are not here to help, but so many of them are. It is good to be going back with a friendly new principal and to feel welcomed back.

I beg of your parents. Go not send your children to this school. It is filled with toxic people and a toxic environment. The staff is ok, but some teachers are clearly there for a job rather than being there to teach. The way that many people treat each other is sickening; I have seen so many things happen in that school. If you want your child to turn out to be a terrible person who does unlawful things, then send them right here.

This is a great school. I am currently in seventh grade and for two years, I have found nothing but love while at school. The staff are very involved in the students, and we are all family here. Our motto is "Pride, Sprit, and Responsability", and our school sure does live up to it. If you are looking for a great place to send your "soon to be middle schooler", then let them come join our loving family at Pine Hollow Middle School.
