This school is just plain out AWESOME! If any one tries to say anything about this school then they probably have NO IDEA what it's like to go here. It's not like most schools where people are stuck-up and preppy, unlike those schools, we stay ballin' and always will. I think it's weird that people ask me if I have to wear a bullet-proof vest to go to this school! No we aren't that bad! Well over all, I think this school is PERFECT and the teachers are great and different from the other teachers, these ones you can actually talk to about your problems instead of just school. My Best Friend Danielle (above) and I love this school and like i said previously, people have NO IDEA if they want to say bad things about this school! BALLIN'!

I love Finland Middle School. I couldn't imagine going anywhere else BUT here! A lot of people think our school is trashy and bad but it's really not! Yeah, the building is old, but it's filled with A LOT of memories! Even my MOM went here! And if you get to know the people in the district there not that bad! For example, mostly all of my friends are in the South Western City School District! And like I said before, I couldn't imagine my-self learning from any other teachers but the GREAT ones here!
