Explorer Middle Schhol has it's good points and bad, as most schools do. It is located in a bad neighborhood that has been, in the past, crawling with crime. The police have teamed up to try to change that. There is now an officer assigned to the school. Overall, the teschers and staff have been great to both my children. There's a parent liason that is constant contact with parents. Just a great school!

This school, no offense I think is a school with low standards. The regular classes do not teach sufficent things. All they have are the basics. The Summit program, is very good, I have to admit, but the regular classes are not satisfactory. If you have a higher level child that can be placed in special classes take them to Explorer to be in Summit, if your child can't I highly suggest a different school.

I am a new setudent to the Summit Program at Explorer MS, there are teo sides to this school. Personally, I feel that the teachers and students are well-behaved and highly educated. In the other hand, in the regular ed classes, I observe terrible behavior, slacking students that teachers don't really help out much, etc. Now don't get me wrong, the music programs and after-school activities are plentiful. I've also herd that the old principal Mr.Flotlin wasn't interacting with the kids, but the new principal Mrs.Williams is doing a fine job. So, in conclusion, if you are in the Summit (highly gifted) Program, than there are great students, classes and teachers that will make the expirience fun and educational. Otherwise, if you are in regular ed, go to Harbour Point MS.

Hello! I attend Explorer MS and I have to say that Summit has been a quite an interesting experience with all the teachers and glad that I have attended this school. I feel that Summit has helped me grow in knowledge and etc. and got to meet new friends! With Explorer, I have been given a choice to get 3 credits before entering highschool and I feel it is going to help me shape my future. I am dissapointed by some of the reviews and mostly about Mr.Flotlin (our principal) and how he does not interact with the students. Well, he is actually a kind hearted person and I believe he interacts with other students very well, it's just that the other students either become shy or they refuse because of his little 'disability'. I hope this review opened the eyes of the reviwers and this deserves a better rating.
