North Tonawanda Middle School is one of the most desolate, ghastly places you could ever spend your preteen-hood. My main issue is how they try to shut down leadership and uniqueness among students, and only tell them what they are doing wrong. This school isn't about learning and having fun, which is what school should be, it's about making sure you don't step a toe out of line, and follow suit. It's dehumanizing and disrespectful to all the students, and many of the kids there have little-to-no hope for their future. Nobody there cares what happens to them; no one has any ambitions or dreams. I was in attendance their for a couple of months in the seventh grade before moving to East Amherst; that was only a year ago. I am now in eighth. Please, whatever you do, do not send your child here if you pay any mind to their future. If you do attend here, please have no shame in being yourself and keep your chin up.

I was a student here and ended up dropping out, because I wasn’t going to be allowed to graduate on time. They only care about you if you’re an athlete. They don’t “prepare you for college.” Flunked out of here to end up doing great in college and nursing school. Don’t send your child here unless you want them to feel depressed and defeated.

The staff to student ratio is outstanding. They pay such attention to detail and the principle is above and beyond for administration. I feel safe during uncertain times while still maintaining the integrity of hands on for the children. This is by far the best elementary school in Niagara county . The stem “steam” room will take them into the elite .
