School Reviews
2 10/10/2025
I definitely would not recommend Archdale Trinity Middle School. Teachers do not keep in contact with parents regarding students having issues. They also pass students that are clearly failing and should be held back. Very disappointing. Thd administration leaves a lot to be desired.
