The school's staff and teachers are very kind and compassionate. They make learning fun and exciting. The teachers really care about you and really want you to learn so you can be at your best. They don't just teach you because they're getting payed for it. If you don't understand something the teachers will take time after school to help you. There are plenty of after-school activities like basketball, football, volleyball, broadcast, the PSMS newspaper and more. The students are welcoming and happy. Everyone fits in and no one is ever left out. The learning environment is comfortable. We did the best on the state tests this year too. The whole time I've been at PSMS, I haven't seen anyone get made fun of or talked down to. I love this school.
It's a terrific school with a great staff and a good administration. The administration isn't overly warm and fuzzy like an elementary school. I personally like that because it prepares the kids for high school, but that tends not to go over well with some of the parents whose kids need constant coddling. And the teachers and administration generally don't tolerate nonsense from the kids. Again, this doesn't go over well with some of the parents whose kids are 'misunderstood' and/or 'independent.' I am delighted that my kids are at Prairie Star.
it's okay the teachers are great but the principal and vice principal can jump to conclusions before investigating a little more.
Prairie Star Middle is a better school than its same-named elementary. Principal and staff seem to work harder to promote acceptance of diversity; there is a culture of kindness that permeates all levels of student activity; students with 'differences' seem to be more accepted generally than in the elementary school. Individual teachers take the initiative to support students they see needing help academically and socially. New principal is doing a good job, in my opinion. We are pleased so far after one year there.
