School Reviews

5   12/10/2007
I have attended Allen Middle School for the 2007 school year. This school offers alot of extra-caricular acivities, such as soccer, track, volley-ball, football, and much more. They have an amazing art teacher,by the name of Karen Torrence, and a great technology teacher named Melanie Holmes. This school has unifrms, which include a white, navy, or royal blue polo shirt, khaiki,navy or black pants tucked in and with a belt. Yes, this school has uniforms but it is packed with top knotch teachers and staff. Even though I am only 11 years old I know alot about this wonderful school I have known to grow and love.
