Prairie Middle school has been one of the BIGGEST disappiontments ever.....My daughter has attend for 3yrs now and all I have seen is the shool go further down hill than I thought possible. As far as wanting more parental involvement I try and try and get turned away not only by teachers but upper staff.....I would never recommend this school not even to an enemy....

I have had grandchildren and great grandchildren attend PMS and have seen great progress in the quality of education over the past few years.  I have come to know a committed and dedicated adminstration and staff that are truly concerned with the children.  My only problem with PMS is the lack of parental involvement.  A great school that could be better with more help.

"They have a newly built building which is absolutely gorgeous and very well laid out. In general the staff is caring, but firm. Only bad thing is that parent involvement is not encouraged. Yet!!"
