The faculty and administrators of this school do not care about your students well being. As a honor student and as a lgbtqia+ student, the amount of bullying here is staggering. Students of the lgbtqia+ minority are shouted slurs and shoved into lockers as staff watch. The counselors allow this to happen to matter what. If a student take things in there own hands, they are punished. The teachers help bullying as they watch the student and say nothing. As a student on superintendents advisory the group does nothing but trouble. Adding the phone rule doesn’t quote “help stop bullying” quoted by the principal; Ms Gover. This makes the bullying go underground and promotes is after hour do the school will not have to deal with it. The staff are lacking as they are constantly gone and substitutes are constantly in the building. The yearbook staff lacks as the faculty members that runs it didn’t finished the book and rushed it, furthermore messing up previous work done by students. The only thing I’d say is good in this school is the orchestra teachers. They are wonderful teaches that prioritize the students well being. It’s sad that a orchestra teacher has to work more than a teacher and do things that the faculty should already do. The nurses here are also lacking, with them getting switched out constantly due to poor schedules. The cafeteria is constantly understaffed and many students aren’t fully even fed due to lack of food. Half of the food is lacking despite what the menu says. Bathrooms are limited to 3 trips per quarter per class. I’ve seen multiple students having to use other students books just for basic human functions. If I was you I would just go to Piqua or Mason as they are better schools. (Stating as a Northmont student.)

Best school ever for kids entering into middle school. The staff is wonderful and understanding for the needs of a student.

Northmont Middle School is on the decline. The teachers are outnumbered by the kids and they are having a hard time controlling many of the new kids moving in from North Dayton. They enforce a "no tolerance" penalty for just about everything, which means teachers don't have to spend the time to correct behaviors or execute due process. I would not recommend this school right now - it is outgrowing it's reputation as a strong academic center with a focus on having the kids prepare for the state standardized tests and not actually learn the material. Avoid this school and consider open enrollment opportunities within the surrounding area.

Northmont middle school is an awesome place to go. I joined in the middle of the school year and the staff and students made me feel welcome
