Overall great. My complaints are that the school is not lenient when it comes to class placement for transfer students so my child has to repeat a year of math since DCS does pre-algebra over a 2 year span for whatever reason. My other complaint about Sells is the front desk and attendance people. After calling in my child sick as per the protocol, I send in notes and sometimes these notes are rejected although I sign, date, and identify myself as the parent and the note contains all the necessary info including dates. In one week, they rejected a sick note TWICE! Its ridiculous and a waste of time for working parents since they have the voicemails and the written note!

My school is awesome. I think it is the best middle school in Dublin. We have the best sport teams and we are always undefeated. We also have the best teachers. We usually always are the best in all dublin middle schools at the Mathcounts competition and Power of the Pen.

My son attends this school and my daughter attended it when she was in middle school. It's a nice school with nice kids and teachers. However, they could do more for gifted kids. The electives are rather limited (art, music, Spanish...Spanish in 8th grade only). Would be great for kids to have foreign language earlier in middle school and some other electives. My son would like to have more interesting courses and some of his friends have expressed the same. We have had to seek classes outside of the school (weekends / summers) to provide more interesting learning experiences.

My school is giving me full support when ever I need it. But this school is more than that it is full of fun and care
