Prince Edward Middle is a mediocre school. The behavior is terrible, and the teachers are ok. I would not recommend.
5 5/21/2012
I have three children, and they have all gone or are going to this school. I have been very happy with it, especially the gifted (advanced) classes and the band program. In fact, the band program is arguably the best in the state for the size.
