Borel is definitely on the upswing, as the new principal is bringing a fresh approach. He is not afraid to make difficult decisions in assigning teachers to classes that best suit their skills and teaching abilities. He is also open to fundraising, which the previous principal opposed. There are many caring and committed parents of Borel Middle School children. The only area that needs improvement is that Borel has almost no differentiated instruction. Other than assigning certain seventh grader students to eight grade math classes, there are no procedures in place to address needs of students who are gifted.
