I had no proper teacher for half a year for 2 different subjects. Every year the ELA teacher is biased toward a certain person, and even the kids who had hundreds in their class received hate. At one point the teacher set up cones in the middle of the hallway, which cause more traffic than our hall could take. Kids would fight or almost fight and break up relationships that lasted 4 days. The highlight of my days was the band, in which we marched and gave concerts. That being said, it was the best public middle school in the area.

I have three sons to have attended and attend this school. This is one of the best schools in the area with caring teachers and staff members. My two old teenagers are well prepared for high school (Union Pines) academically and they have been doing great. New Century School still needs some room for improvement, but I am very satisfied with this school.

New Century Middle School is a very good school. The administration and teachers are attentive to the unique needs of the student body.

It is a poor school. Teachers don’t care about students as much as they should. Whenever troublemakers disrupt class the teachers yell and make empty threats but when a good kid forgets a pencil they get 3 warnings before 1 hour in ISS.

Horrible and I've never had problems at any of the other schools with teachers or other staff. This school is horrible to have to deal with.

This is only the beginning of the first year at NCMS for us, but the principal is unaware of the programs the school is offering or how these programs are run. Not enough information is given to parents. Starting 6th graders and parents have not been given enough information about "encores" or clubs. Lesson schedules where not ready at back to school night and lockers were not given until 2 days in. I realize the principal and assistant principal are new to this school but they should be more prepared and knowledgeable! PS: I would give this school more stars if the principal would get her act together.
