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.

Prince Edward Middle is a mediocre school. The behavior is terrible, and the teachers are ok. I would not recommend.
