i have been going to North Branch for 5 ish years now, in my time the school has had some....different people and how they express themselves. we have had fights (personally haven't been in one) verbal bullying and strict grading systems. with all of these cons, the north branch is nowhere near perfect, but it is great we enjoy free (decent) lunch, breakfast phones in the cafeteria, and rewards for doing well during marking periods.

Ruth Fox Middle School is very much not a good place to send your kid if they are more alternative than others. The teachers are very good but there is a couple that are quite rude. Counselors are AMAZING (I recommend mrs.finnley). Safety is very unstable there were almost 8 threats last school year alone. If your kid is special than I don't recommend this school (I saw a special-ed teacher yell at one of the special kids til she cried). The learning is good, they teach good strategy on how to solve problems and are very good at explaining how the strategy works. The students here are so rude unless your popular or have the same style as them + skinny. The kids are so not controlled by teachers that some kids would yell things like "kys!" Or "cut my life into pieces!" In front of teachers at other students that were different than them (style, sh, etc..). Students are always caught vaping in bathrooms too. This is first hand experience btw:) [I had to switch school bc people wanted to jump me + staff knew and didn't even keep a eye on me or my sister. I no longer go here it got so bad.]

Ruth Fox Middle School is not a well balanced school and the students are somewhat interesting. The food tastes mid, the teachers are rude and dont help students. But i want to point out the pros, Ruth Fox will welcome everyone in a nice way, and the social emotional support is awesome, you can talk to anyone about your problems and they will help! So overall, this school is very mid, i still dont reccomend going.
