You really need to update this. I go to Strayer and it only has grades 7-8th and it has way more students now that Milford Middle School closed. It doesn't have 6th anymore because the new 6th Grade Center opened last year. Strayer has an awesome band, chorus, and Messi Divoci. (I don't know how to spell it) Over all you need to update the information here not all of it's right.
Review Strayer Middle School. Reviews should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
- Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
- Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities
