This school is extremely bad. The students here are incredibly disrespectful, swear a lot, fight, bang on doors, and even fight on campus very frequently, especially in 7th grade where they push each other a lot. I repeat, fighting is extremely, extremely bad. Students hide in the restrooms smoking
Posted by a student on 1/13/2026Good school and nice tearcher. My kids love this school
Posted by a parent on 9/9/2025I don’t dislike Murphy school, but I also don’t think is the best school if Boston Public Schools. Yes, I got to be in a volleyball team, which was really fun. I also made more friends at the end of the year, so I’m expecting to see them next year. I just think, some particular students Cassie a lot
Posted by a student on 8/16/2025My child went to this school from grade 1 to grade 6. The teachers are incredibly disrespectful and entitled to themselves. The principal is incredibly disrespectful and only seems to care about how the school is portrayed. The principal puts up an act of kindness and respect, in reality she tries t

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI currently have 2 students that attend NHCS. One in middle school and the other graduating from high school. When my children first attended the school In elementary I truly loved the school. This year my child started middle. This is the first time since my children have attended the school that I am not happy. The principal of the middle runs it like a BPS school. He doesn’t encourage teacher parent relationship, he is ok with living children outside alone with no adult supervision, and the middle school doesn’t have a special education teacher. Therefore my child and other child have falling behind academic. Some of the teachers have nasty attitudes towards parents and students. I am strongly concerning pull my child out of this school and maybe trying later for high school!Parent Review2y ago - Codman Academy Charter Public School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageGreat school. I used to go here. Infact, I would be a pretty good student here. there were all types of people and personality’s. It was fun to walk into school and see what would go down, or what crazy and exciting stuff the teachers would do. Sometimes, kids who finished at that school would come and visit at the end of the day. And principal bryan(t? so sorry if i spelt it wrong) was an amazing principal. Great work. There were small mishaps here and there and silly elementary drama, but it was mostly solved or forgotten, Great school with good opportunities, yet, making friends can be hard, coinciding is great.Other Review4y ago - Lee Academy

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageGreat, yet, there have been situations with drama amongst students often, cafe food has deteriorated, and often, staff seem to be overwhelmed. This results in teachers being exhausted, kids getting in even more trouble and nothing being done. Overall, staff is great and meeting some of the kids isn’t great . they are all bright and have potential.Other Review4y ago
