Sagewood Middle School

Mr. Winsor, the prior principal, was amazing and really understood what kids in middle school went through. He also heeded the expert recommendations of his support staff.

The last year and this year have been awful with D’Ardenn as the principal. I felt like with the principal before him that we were moving forward positively and Mr. D’Ardenn has now set the kids back. Very disappointing.

My daughter has had a wonderfully positive experience at Sagewood, both academically and socially. The workload is balanced and purposeful. She has learned a lot in her advanced classes and has been able to choose differentiated assignments/projects at a higher level in her social studies class (where an advanced class isn't offered). Students have real responsibility in their clubs and organizations, which is a valuable learning experience outside the classroom. Teachers and administrators are very caring and responsive to individual students' needs. The new principal is very hands on, eager to get to know the students, and always available to hear feedback from parents. In fact, he arranged a series of coffees for that very purpose, and he truly listened to parents' suggestions and feedback, both positive and constructive.

This school seems to only care about money. They are kicking my 11 year old daughter out of a play because she didnt pay them for her participation. I agreed to pay the money then they told me i have to buy a computer first so i can pay them. I will look into enrolling my children in a different school that cares about the kids and not my wallet
