School Reviews
5   2/13/2016
I have been at this wonderful school for 3 years now( in the academy), and it has been such a wonderful experience for me. Their teachers genuinely care about you, even if they don't show it all the time. They support you in school activities as well as activities outside of school. Their Deans and guidance counselors are very helpful and there when you need them. There are many clubs to choose from and the extracurricular activities you can do are amazing! Not to mention that we have amazing coaches for our sports teams! I reccomend Howard Bishop Middle School over all the other middle schools in Alachua County. Go Hawks!
