As a sibling of someone with disabilities, it pains me to write this.
Myrtle Grove is by far the worst school in the Wilmington area. Not only is it poorly equipped with teachers that just push students along (even when it would benefit them to hold them back or actually work with them) but it condones bullying.
A teacher admitted to acknowledging the bullying of a disabled student yet did nothing about it.
This school is a disgrace to education. Soon, the school boards will catch up to them. If you have the option to send your student elsewhere, I recommend you do so.

My son is in 6th grade and in the band program. He absolutely loves this school. The staff is extremely friendly and goes out of their way to help you with any concerns you might have.

They do not bombard the kids with homework. The only homework my son has is current affairs every other week and if he did not finish class work.

My Daughter is in her second year at Myrtle Grove Middle and I will say she will not be going there for a 3rd. The school is way overcrowded, bullying goes on, gangs. After many complaints we still face the same problems.I have not been able to get any help from the assistant principal, the guidance counselor. They pretend oh yes we will fix that...they dont....Beware. Most of the teachers have no control over thier students and they end up learning nothing. Lunch food is cold.

I went to this school all three years. The teachers vary some actually care and know the subject they teach and some have no idea and don't help. This schoolnis very overcrowded and the lunch is very low quality with low variety. Bullying has quieted down since my first year to my last and the guidance counselors are very nice and helpful.
