Templeton Middle School

Amazing, I love this school so much. It has taught me lots of stuff not only educational wise.

I have to say I was a bit worried about my gifted child moving on from Vineyard Elementary to a 6th-8th middle school with no special programs, but I am so pleased with his education and opportunities to advance at this school. The sixth grade transition was so smooth and my child really liked this school from day 1. It was a very easy year academically, however I believed it served him well as he transitioned into middle school. Seventh and eighth grade was a bit more challenging, and there are several options a gifted student can take. Advanced math, AP Language Arts, and more challenging electives to name a few. Staff is great, and the teachers have been fantastic.

Templeton Middle School varies from other schools. First off, the homework that these kids get in way above requirements considering schools around the county barley have little to NO homework.

Vineyard Elementary, my child is a gifted bored child in a class of 32; I understand the priority of bringing everyone up to speed (it's the law) and there are more special needs children that come from other districts than gifted and only so much money; we're thinking of moving way out of state for a better education or private school and are very disappointed; as far as the extracurricular activities, there are not enough spots for everyone; you have get lucky and get "picked"; they try, but the state is broke and our children have to pay the price
