Pros:
-Nice baskets that catch well
-Good use of the little bit of elevation that the land this course offers sits on. This is the most elevation change I've ever seen on a school course.
-Hole 3 is a decently long hole and a lot longer of a hole than you usually find on a school course.
-I found the course pretty easy to navigate. All of the next tees are pretty close to the last basket. As long as you look for the tee-sign of the next hole you won't have a problem finding the next hole.
-Very generous par (Hole 3 is a par 5 and there are a couple par 4s) which is nice since it is at a middle school and could be encouraging to some middle schoolers just learning the game.

Cons:
-This course has a ton of safety issues present. Holes 1-4 and 9 all play really close to the track around the football field and bad shots could be dangerous if any one is using the football field or the track. Hole 1 plays really close to a busy parking lot. Hole 7 plays through a obstacle/challenge course and very close to a walk way into the school. Hole 9's basket is placed right behind a staircase leading down to the football field and could be very dangerous. Hole 5 and 8's fairways cross a little bit. If there are any non disc golfers using the track or obstacle course, this course would be almost unplayable.
-The only hole that really has any excitement is hole 7. All of the holes are mostly wide open with few obstacles and the course get repetitive pretty quickly.
-There are no actual tee-boxes, just dirt patches near the tee-signs. Most of the tee-signs are located on side-hills, which makes teeing off on many of the holes awkward. Level tee-boxes would be really nice.
-The tee-signs are very unhelpful. They have just the hole number and the par. A layout of the hole and at least the distance would be nice.
-Some grass on the course could get a little tall and itchy in high summer.

Other Thoughts:
This course has a ton of safety issues that could lead to a ton of issues with non-disc golfers if the sporting fields and track are in use. I would most definitely only play this course on weekends or during the summer to avoid these conflicts. Even without the safety issues, this course is not very exciting. I can imagine it would be fun for the students of the school, but unless you are right near this course, I don't recommend a stop at this course.
