Avery Middle School
This school caters to the wealthy and stomps down the poor. The majority of teachers and staff are mannerless, rude, and have no compassion. Therefore, they breed mannerless and rude students.
Lots of parents in this county are unhappy with this school, but don't
know what they can do about it. My poor child dreads this school
everyday. Definitely I have one child that is constantly being "left behind."
