Stetson Middle School
Anonymous: My 6th grader is new to Stetson this year, and I must say, they do a fabulous job of transitioning the new students. My child is engaged, loves her teachers, and has great school pride. I especially love that the principal eats lunch in the cafeteria with the kids every day. It makes them feel comfortable with him, and makes it possible for him to know all of the students as well.

Stetson Middle School
I was in 6th grade this year and this school is great! There are so many clubs and activities to join. Most Of The teachers are very nice but some are a little challenging. The gym is awesome and there is such a good layout for the school it is very easy to learn. Also, your classes change every day so that one day you will have a different class then another day! Very great school, highly recommended.
