Both of my kids love going to Northside! It's a smaller school with a family feel. It amazes me to read some of the negative reviews on here, and makes me wonder if they found the right Northside online (since there are many schools in GA with the same name). If you have an issue, teachers, the counselor and administrators will handle it if you let them know about it. Our kids receive an excellent education at Northside.

My child’s experience at Herschel Jones Middle School, was not good. The administration and teachers are not adequately trained, in teaching strategies for students with ADHD. The school uses suspension instead of following Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) rules, parents and guardians have specific legal protections and procedural steps to challenge this action. However, All too often, the reactions by educators to a student’s misbehavior or challenging academic situation result in suspensions, expulsions, exclusions, class failures, and grade retention. Herschel Jones middle School failed my child miserably and I would not consider sending my kids to this school.Do your homework and look at the statistics. Serving 809 students in grades 6-8, Herschel Jones Middle School ranks in the bottom 50% of all schools in Georgia for overall test scores (math proficiency is bottom 50%, and reading proficiency is bottom 50%). The percentage of students achieving proficiency in math is 15% (which is lower than the Georgia state average of 39%). The percentage of students achieving proficiency in reading/language arts is 28% (which is lower than the Georgia state average of 40%). The statistics speak for itself. The school needs a major overhaul.
