August Boeger Middle School

Brand-new campus and friendly teachers who care!

Wow, where do I start with this one. This school is what your child might call "hit or miss". My son attended from 4th-6th grade. 4th and 5th were excellent, with an amazing teacher. The school had many oddities however. They let the special- ed kids play in the same playground, which of course they have the undeniable right to do, but at the same time as the other students could be a hassle with them potentially getting hurt. My son also told me that they put those children's strollers abnormally close to the swings, and refused to move. Other than that, it was basically the only major problem that the school had. The problems would grow the following year. My son received a passionate teacher in 6th grade and had a good friend group. However, half way in the year, his teacher began slacking in teaching the material. The kids were set to learn about Rome for a month, yet ended up learning about it for a few days. They also had to do five chapters of science in one week. Many of the children's grades were negatively affected due to this. That school year thus ended on a somewhat sad note. My son often reminisced about his time at Norwood the following year at Quimby. Of course this all was many years ago, so I'm sure the school has improved by then. The transition to Quimby, was in itself not what we expected and a whole story on its own. Overall, I'd give this school a 6.5/10.

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend going to this school. You should inquire with the district office which schools in the district have better leadership, principals with longer tenure And experience, a track record of success, and no teacher turnover.

Terrible school a boy was bullied and gotNo help from teachers !

I just want to say this school has the most amazing, caring, & compassionate teachers, staff and principal I have seen as of yet. Very dedicated when it comes to teaching and supporting the kids that attend their school. They take the time to build a personal connection, not only with the kids but us parents as well. Makes it so much easier on myself as a parent, knowing my child is in good hands at this school. Thank you Robert Sanders!

This School is very horrible in term of teaching and teacher's integrity. My baby is in Kindergarten and the teacher is extremely Rude and Unprofessional when communicating with parents regarding the child's wrongdoing during school session. The Principal is also unfair for defending her employee's behavior. Avoid this school if You like a better environment for your lovely baby!

Teachers are very approachable and are responsive. School pushes for parent participation which is good to create a close-knit community.
