William S Hackett Middle School
Hackett tends to get bad press but my son is in 8th grade and has had an incredible experience. He has met wonderful new friends from diverse background. Has had the opportunity to take advanced course work. We hear so much about the bad press - the good the school is doing tends to fall to the way side.
