Parent: Excellent! I’ve had two children complete middle school at DMS in recent years. I can definitely say that this school has something for everyone! Honors courses, various electives, sports, and any type of club imaginable. Invested teachers, administrators, and coaches who really take the time to get to know each child and family are really what set this school apart though.... Read 8 reviews

Junior: Like all schools, Mountain Brook Junior High has its advantages and its disadvantages. Its education is incredible. The teachers, for the most part, are kind, dedicated, and knowledgeable. MBJH also has great athletic programs, especially in track / cross country, volleyball, and football, and wonderful programs in the arts. However, there are also places where it falls short. While MBJH does not have many cases of violent bullying, it has many cases of cyberbullying and exclusion. Overall though, it is an excellent school.... Read 4 reviews

Works Here: I have never been part of a school that has an administrator that knows what they are doing! This is a school that honors faculty, yet pushes them to always be better. The staff rises to the occasion. There is high expectation on students in 5th and 6th grade. There is a no tolerance for poor behavior. One of the best things that this school implements is a reward system as well as a place for kids who are having trouble in the classroom to go and complete assignments away from distractions that may have caused poor behavior. There is a point team system that kids work toward a spirit stick. There is a camaraderie with staff and teachers that is unmatched. We are truly all on the same page with students and work to high levels to get students to where the need to be. The admin fully support staff and they also pitch in to help with remediation and instruction when needed. There are not may admins that fill in when needed. This is a fantastic school in which to work!... Read 19 reviews

Parent: Coppinville Jr. High has proven to be an excellent learning environment for my children. The teachers and staff genuinely care about the students and stay involved with their students' academic development. My extrovert child thrived amongst her peers and my introvert child has found a healthy environment to learn in. Junior High is a difficult environment to navigate. While no school is perfect, this school has cultivated a culture that encourages academic discipline, healthy choices, and celebrating each child.... Read 3 reviews

Alum: I loved plainview! The sports, the band, the clubs, the teachers, the staff, everything about it. In our county Plainview is know to be for “the rich kids” or “preppy kids” or “stuck up kids” if you ask anyone from the county that doesn’t attend Plainview. In reality that’s what makes Plainview so great. Everyone looks down on us and in that case it makes the whole school come together as one. We learn when we are little no other school can tolerate us and that just makes us form some type of special family bond. I knew when I was playing sports that the whole entire community always had my back no matter what and that’s just a feeling I will never forget.... Read 45 reviews
