    One comment about Edwin Markham Middle

    I graduated from Markam in 1979, this school had a relatively high standard of education, but it did not necessarily extend to all students. I pray that this is not the case here, we as parents have to be held accountable for our children's educational development, but that does not let the academic institutions off the leash!!
