This school is being investigated for several special education violations and civil rights Violations. If your child is at all different, I would not suggest attending. From the reviews, I would say that nothing has changed at this school in over a decade. They value sports above education, and the policies they enact to remove bullying perpetuate the problem and do not help. Their one amazing guidance counselor does not make up for an entire staff of adult bullies and incompetence. They are extremely behind on human rights issues and general education law, let alone sped law. Do yourself a favor and don't send your child here.

i didn’t have a good time at this school. the teachers were mean and nobody did anything about it, the guidance counselors don’t offer good support, and the kids are MEAN.

My experience at this school was okay, even with being bullied and overwhelmed with homework.

My daughter had a hard time with one teacher. But overall her 4 years at the middle school were excellent including extra help with consideration of the one teacher. Great community

Having a very difficult time with the staff and my middle school student. Bullying is a big problem. We moved here for a better life for our children but are now planning on moving out.

This school system needs a serious makeover. The quality of teaching and people in charge of our children is terrible. We are currently moving out of Northbridge so we can find a good education for ur children. It has just gotten worse over the years and the old my kids get the worse the education gets. Very disappointing. There is also still a huge bulling problem that none of the administration seems to care about. they say its a priority but they are all talk. There is very little consequence for bullies in this town/school system.

There is a serious bullying problem, for boys and girls, at this school. A place where this unhealthy atmosphere is fostered is the cafeteria and its seating rules (7 to a table) at lunch, encouraging a culture of exclusion for both sexes. This is then transferred to classrooms, and even when teachers and administrators are approached about these issues, they are downplayed, and swept under the rug. My honor students no longer attend public schools in Northbridge, in an attempt to save their lives and provide hope for the future.
