North Middle School

My experience has been great and definitely 5 stars from me.

My family absolutely loves Brookfield Elementary in Brockton, MA. We love the small, tight knit family feeling this school gives. The teachers and staff are all so caring and knowledgeable! We feel that are kids are loved and are safe at this school.

While this wasn't the school that changed my opinion about BPS, It did came to me that I was not given the type of class that an autistic person like myself should have gotten. Instead, I had to deal with outdated timeout rooms that used to have NO handle on the other side of the door, trying to change who I am instead of thinking of workarounds, making me repeat kindergarten because my brother didn't pass (who hates this school a lot), not changing my perspective of relationships before almost falling in love with my 2nd grade teacher, literally straining my arms behind my back, & dare I say, staff convincing me that I'd eventually get teleportation powers soon instead of telling me the truth. I hope this school changed when I passed 5th grade in 2017.

My son is currently in third grade but this will be the last year at this school. He has ADHD and his teachers are aware of this with his paperwork. When he gets distracted or frustrated instead of redirecting him they let him wander away from the rest of the class. The teacher is a new replacement the school found at the last minute and it feels like she either isn't properly trained or experienced to work with a class this size. We were also informed that the school does not have a fourth grade teacher for next year as the current one was a temporary substitute for this year. I don't know if the extremely poor training is because of budget cuts or the new administration but it is hurting all of the students. Do not send your child here or they will just fall behind their peers at other schools.

I completely disagree with the score the George school has on this site! My daughter has been going here since kindergarten and has an amazing experience. She had been in a situation where she was being bullied and received so much support from teachers, guidance counselors, and the principal. I was always being communicated with whenever something happened. She received support for her emotional well being and for different educational needs that she needed some extra help in. I love the updates we get through the app and the monthly Jaguar journal! The addition of learning to read, write, and speak in a second language can be challenging but there are many wonderful resources and people ready to help if you need them!

I would not recommend this school. I was warned but wanted to give it a try since this is a seventh day Adventist private school. Academically, it is not up to par. The children are not being challenged enough. You will be wasting your money and your child’s education will set them back in life. Not worth it. Look for other adventist schools like Cedar Brook in Rehoboth
