Great school, and the Civil Air Patrol and Engineering programs are the best. They have given my son confidence, direction, and pride, and Mr. Huff and Captian Reese are the best teachers. Lots of clubs and activities

As a parent and a teacher at this school, I can tell you that I brought my son to this school after he had been homeschooled on Florida Virtual for his entire elementary school learning. On FLVS, he was attaining 3''s on his state tests. Since he has been at Azalea, those scores have risen to 5''s, and he is flourishing. He will move up to 9th grade at the end of this year with 5 high school course credits and a principal''s list to boot. I originally worried that my son (who is on the spectrum) might not fare as well in an actual school setting, but my faith in my colleagues and what we are doing at Azalea Middle School has paid off in dividends for his future.

This school is great. The teachers and staff create a welcoming atmosphere for all students. The engineering program is fantastic. A cut above the rest. If you want your child to have caring teachers and a great education, you should definitely enroll them into the engineering program.
