We are very happy with the extracurricular clubs, sports and professional attitude and friendly culture of Haines. My true concern is with the gifted program and particularly math.
Slow moving in updating curriculum. Lacks commitment to communicate to parents. Some tenured teachers allowed to slide with out accountability. Slow moving in providing services to students that need gifted academics, LD support and BD support.

I am currently a 7th grade student at Haines, and if I do say so myself, that the school is great. They have wonderful AT (Advanced) classes, and the teachers are very understanding, and if not to add too much, they are one of the nation's blue ribbon schools!

I believe the new principal is very professional and good. The school is somewhat overcrowded, note the temp school classrooms. Several bills to increase monies to add classrooms have failed in St. Charles. The teachers can be tough, but the system allows parents to communicate with individual teachers easily (internet etc.) Extra curricular activities are plentiful, something for everyone. Overall, a very nice middle school.
