The school does need more educational field trips. The staff is very caring and concerned with the students and their future. They stay on top of their grades and are willing to work with students that need assistance.
On the other hand, my student has only missed 7 days, which I think is good considering these were sick days, and they are pushing him to make up these days. He was A-B honor roll twice this year and that should be taken into consideration with days missed.

I have seen the most improvement from my daughter than ever before, she actually likes school now. Thank you Ms. Usher for your patience and dedication. The entire staff that I have encountered has been wonderful & handled any issues we had. Thank you for everything.

I think that New Heights Middle School is a wonderful school. It provides excellent teachers and staff members, great food to eat, and great expectations for the students. New Heights has a low tolerance level. It provides us with everything that we need not what we want. We do excellent projects, lessons, and classwork just to help us learn what ever the lesson is for that day. My homeroom teacher Mrs.Hope is the best she teaches us with respect, honesty, loving. and many more aspects. I love all my teachers the same way and I am a 7th grade student.
