I am happy with all the teachers and the principal; they care about students and try to offer the best options for your child depends on what you need it. As a parent, we always need to be pending and ask for a conference and they will work together with you. Thank you Mrs Stephanie Williams :)

I definitely would not recommend Archdale Trinity Middle School. Teachers do not keep in contact with parents regarding students having issues. They also pass students that are clearly failing and should be held back. Very disappointing. Thd administration leaves a lot to be desired.
