What school district is Linkhorne Middle School part of?
Although this school stresses the uniform code and has some extracurricular activities, the discipline for behavior is not very good. There is vulgarity and a lot of pushing and shoving in the halls. Also, I think most of the teachers don't do a good job teaching. The school is worried about uniforms rather than academics. I don't like the learning environment and wouldn't recommend this school.
