What people are saying

by a student
Sunday, June 26, 2011

I came to this school the beginning of the school year and I think it is an amazing school. The administrators are great at there job and yes they take care of issues if you indeed have one. This school is very safe . I went to a Nashua middle school last year and there was alot of violence and knife fights and it was a very unsafe environment but this school is very good at making sure there is no violence going on. It does happen a little bit but everyone involved does get consequences. I think the only problem is some kids are highly rude. And many students could vouch for me on that point. But it happens in all middle schools. If your hesitating on whether or not to send you child here I say yes because its a safe environment and has a great staff member body. Dont listen to all the negative reviews on here because people will NOT take the time to write a good review about schools but they find time to trash this school and that's not right. Close Quote
