(4 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - When I first learned that my kids had to go to this school,I was very ,very upset.I had heard so many bad things about this particular school.My mind was already set that it was not going to be a very good experience. I went to open house and let the teachers know what my expectations were and that as long as we kept an open line of communications everything was going to be fine. Chewning has turned out to be a terrific school.My daughter loves it.She has a wonderful set of teachers who cares and wants the best for the kids that they are teaching. To all the parents who has doubts about Chewning Middle School,Don't Knock It Until You Try It".
