Our family is second generation Viking Middle School attendees. The opportunities to learn and excel are abundant. Several options to fast track well developed students and assist challenged students. IPAD curriculum is a plus to learn while engaging technology. Also serves as a great tool to maximize communication. Ultimately all three of my personal stories here are of success which is not a guarantee in this transitional stage of a child becoming a young adult. Thank you Viking.
My daughter attended this school in 7th and 8th grade after attending several schools that didn't quite work for us. Their drama and fine arts afforded her experiences that she would have never had anywhere else. She was able to travel with her drama club to The Grand Ole Opry to perform in a theater festival. Additionally, she was placed in many advanced classes and completed freshmen algebra. She was well prepared for high school. Additionally, the communication from the superintendent and faculty are superior to any other we've experienced!
Viking is a great school with incredible technology and opportunities for our kids. Every student gets an ipad to do their work and they take them home!
Fantastic band program. Drama and sports are both excellent, as well. When I attended this school, our sports teams consistently beat Woodland's even though Viking is a much smaller school. I learned a lot and was well prepared for high school. As with any school, teachers can be a mixed bag ranging from dedicated and talented to somewhat dishonest, but overall I felt that I experienced some amazing teachers. My one complaint would be the handling of students who harass others. Some teachers and administration would step in and report it, effectively dealing with the harassment, but others seemed afraid of the students themselves and would turn a blind eye to what was going on. 2004-07
