This is a great school! It has committed teachers who spend extra time working with their students to help them succeed. Sidney Schools has so many services. It offers inclusion specialists, ESL teachers, talented & gifted teachers, resource room teachers, and MD units. Classrooms at SMS are state of the art and the building is well laid out with each grade level in its own wing. Sidney Middle School's music program is top notch with orchestra, band, and choir offered. Almost all of these students continue at the high school level. The cultural diversity in Sidney City Schools prepares its students for success in working with others from different backgrounds in college and in the job force. Sidney Middle School is constantly working to improve test scores and also to meet the individual needs of all of its students. Sidney graduates come back frequently to see their middle school teachers and thank them for helping them succeed in college and in the real world. SMS encourages all students to be involved in extra-curricular activities or sports and become a part of their school community. This is a great school in a great school system! Sidney is lucky to have SMS.

It is a fancy building with cameras everywhere. Too many administrative staff and poor testing scores.
