Sierra Middle School
5
This school is not an oridnary school, this school is a home away from home. Whenever you need help there is always someone there for you. No student is ever left out and never feels like they are. The teaches and students are outstanding and fun to be around. So when it comes to middle school I urge you to pick Sierra if you want a good school.
