Middle school is tough, for parent & student, but we haven't had any real problems in our almost 3 years at QHMS! Our son likes all his teachers, & is challenged by them. The staff & teachers are all very approachable & happy to help with any concerns you may have. We have 2 younger children in elementary & will not hesitate to move them on up to QHMS!
