I am a current student at this school. this school is inconsiderate about the student's feelings, the academics are bad and this school is very trashy.the teachers are too fast and yell at you for no reason there are many fights, threats, and bullying when we tell the teachers about bullying they brush it under the carpet like nothing happened the emotional support is like "Oh you're sad here is 10 pages of work" ( this had happened to me once ) the school has very low funds to support the students like for food, fixing bathrooms, etc. this school is the worst experience I had ever had with schools.

Northern Middle School teachers, faculty, and staff provided my children a well-rounded education that prepared them for high school and life. The teachers serve many hats (coaches, mentors, counselors) that they wear to the best of their ability. They are providing top quality education to my grandchildren within a loving, caring environment.I want to encourage all that have an invested interest in or at Northern Middle School to get involved to make Northern a "Great" school.Janie S.

We just moved here summer of 2013 and I had two children in this school and already asked for a withdrawal to enter into another school. The students are trouble makers and when reported to the assistant principles and principle, it's simply a waste of time and things are brushed under the rug. Some teachers sit around and act like nothing is going on in class and allow these things among the students to happen. The school curriculum is good but there is a lot of bullying going on in this school so if you want your kids to be safe, don't send them here.

Good school but it need more excitement. There is too much work and not enough time to have fun and release stress from the classroom. The teachers should try to have fun with the lesson.

you would think that in todays world that everyone is created equal and that there is no discrimination base on race,sex ect. all children are not gang members. no one person can be judge and jury when something happen. the school lack leadership and does not care about the students.
