GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I really love this school. Most of the teachers are phenomenal, and there are so many clubs and after-school activities. There is band, student government, drama, art, sports, and more. There are many people from different backgrounds, races, and religions. I'm so thankful that we have access to so much technology. Each class has a Chromebook cart and a smartboard. I feel safe at this school. This school is really preparing us for high school.

I love this school with all my heart but I genuinely despise some of the teachers. I've made close friends I still talk to even though I moved out of Florida last year. Now that I'm in a different state, I realize that Don Estridge has a much more advanced curriculum in comparison to other places. Most students take that for granted. Overall, the experiences I've had are unforgettable and I don't regret going here.

I go to Don Estridge currently, and all my classes are advanced or accelerated. I think the way they handle academics is not exceptional or amazing, I think this way because of the amount of homework I get, instead of making the class advanced or accelerated and not average, they just double the hom...

As a student who has been here from 6th to 8th grade, here's what I have to say overall:TEACHERS: The 6th to 7th grade teachers are above average without a doubt, and nearly every single one of my teachers in 8th grade have been better than I've had from the past 13 years of school that I've been in...

My daughter started at Don Estridge, a magnet high tech middle school in Aug. 2021. Although she was nervous thinking she wasn't going to know anyone, she made friends quickly. Her elementary school prepared her well for the high level of education & daily use of google classroom required here. This...
