Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2008-11-01 “This school offers extra-curricular activities, many after school clubs, chances to meet expectations over teachers free time, and a 50 year old building, but still in great shap A+” Posted By: student Quality Score: 3 2008-08-25 “i went there and it wasn't really that great. some of the teachers were really rude and couldn't control the class. i went to cascade middle school and it not true that it is bad and i wen t there and now i'm going to wetern university.” Posted By: student Quality Score: decline 2007-07-15 “I attended sms both years and am heading off to seattle preparatory. This is indeed the best school in the highline school district. This middle school's honors program is amazing. We went to washington D.C. For spring break & learned more than imagined. The memories are gold. There is also an avid program. All the teachers are caring & great.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2007-02-21 “My child goes to this school because it is the best in the district. Before she went to Cascade middle school and didn't like it: not very good teachers and not enough dicipline and education is too easy. This school has much better teachers that are more involved with the students and a good choice of electives, wich everyone likes. I recomend this middle school over the other middle shcools in the district!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2004-09-03 “We are very impressed with the teacher and staff commitment and willingness to work with the students and parents. We are especially thankful for the extra efforts of Ms. Fernley, Ms. Raney & Ms. Hacker to ensure our child's academic success.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2003-12-12 “Sylvester has some great teachers; they are concerned about their student's education more so then other middle school teachers in the district. I have been consistently impressed by their ability to get through to students that others couldn't. I can't say enough to express the commitment that these teachers display on a day-to-day basis. Extra kudos to Mr. Dennerline and Ms. Leonard as they go that extra step to get involved in their students learning experience. If all or most teachers had the commitment to their students as these two do I am sure that teachers would have much higher esteem and salary base than they do now. I have not been able to meet his other teachers at length yet because the need hasn't occurred. In other words all of his teachers are doing what they are supposed to do and I am impressed! Thanks”
