McCullough (Calvin R. ) Middle School
This school and the Colonial School District as a whole is a very poor excuse for a quality education facility. While there are some teachers who honestly do care, the school is plaqued by a bullying and hazing problem that both the current Principle and the district leaders refuse to admit exists. This is in addition to the fact that education performance was substandard for the last two years and seems to be on track to be so this year as well. A school ( and a district) with many problems
