Scranton Middle School is a great school! Academics are taught threw thoughtful teachers who listen and help. Extracirricular activities are provided but they need more things for the children to do. Everyday at Scranton you here that another student has recieved a great honors award or something we have a lot of young poets published and at the end of the year grade awards are presented to the students. Scranton is nice but could be a little cleaner. Parents chaperone all the time at Scranton, Scranton is a great school
