My daughter goes here. She has had some bullying problems.But it is a great school with great teachers (exept a few). I would recommed this school to people with strong minds. It can be easy in basic and regular classes. My daughter is in accelerated classes so it is way harder.

This is the first time I've seen this site. My son attended NCMS during the time of the 8/10/03 posting to your site and then NCHS. I have also worked in many of the schools in the Hampstead area, including NCHS and NCMS. How can this parent say that 'nearly all children' in the North Carroll area
... Read more have serious problems with drugs? This parent is absolutely wrong! Over the years, I have met many of the North Carroll area students and most are great kids! Maybe this parent should have made sure their children were properly supervised at home and stop putting the blame for their bad parenting on the community. The North Carroll area is a great area in which to raise a family. Maybe this parent should have moved to Baltimore City to see what 'bad' is really like! It's so easy to blame others for our own inadequacies! Read less

I stumbled across this page and was astounded to read the terrible things people had to say. I have been teaching at NCMS for five years now and I think we have a wonderful school! We have a great student body with concerned, involved parents. Most of our teachers are constantly self-evaluating and

We have many programs set in place for struggling students, good teacher-parent communication and excellent special education teachers. I am sad to see that some people have had a bad experience with NCMS but from someone who works there, I think our school is top-notch. Just look at our MSA scores too, they are some of the highest in the county. Read less

I think that anyone should say that this school is bad.I have been in NCMS for two years, and I feel that teachers appropriately challenge the students and discipline the students very well. I have nothing but compliments for this school.

Three incredibly rough years. I watched my straight A student who was always eager to excel always doing more instead of less go through a complete transition. Now they do whatever it takes to just get by. The lack of good leadership in the teachers and poor communication skills has been a constant

If we had less of this maybe they would respect there teachers more. Its a shame because there were children who really wanted to learn and not play but they've given up on the system now too.

Parents -- if you really want to find out what NCMS is like, go on a field trip. This school is tremendously lacking in leadership and discipline. The teachers have no control over the students.

It's been a big sacrifice economically, but we've moved him to a private high school and his brother will not be going from public elementary to NCMS but to a private middle school in response to the experience we had with our oldest son in this school. Best advice for parents -- check it out yourself. Read less

My son entered North Carroll Middle School in Fall 2003 for his sixth grade year. He had attended a Baltimore City school in Brooklyn, MD through the fifth grade. Although apprehensive at first, within two weeks he began to smile everyday and reported that North Carroll was great compared to the city

When I inquired why, he told me that he did not have to contend with bullies (at least half the 'students')and racism towards Caucasians at North Carroll and that the teachers seem to care about the students. In other words, he can do what he came to North Carroll to do, learn. So, parents and students at North Carroll Middle School, Count your blessings! There are schools where things are much, much worse not that far away. Read less
