Read what parents are saying about J Henry Higgins Middle School
This school is just something else. People will get bullied I have been one person bullying and they don't notice. Swears, racist, and just overall not a school you wanna go to. The busses are very bad there was a shoe thrown on my bus which I have a video of. The teachers from what I see are fine.
Posted by a student on 10/14/2025It’s tough to have one middle school to accommodate such a large city however, I think the Higgins has done a great job. The school is beautiful and my children had very successful times here.
Posted by a parent on 9/14/2025My son started last year. Wonderful news school and good classes he really likes it he got excellent grades. Thanks for all the hardworking teachers
Posted by a parent on 6/26/2025My kid will go there next year beautiful school looking forward to it. Other low reviews are not fair as they are about rude bus drivers or other subjective not so happy parents. Rating should be about student advancements,teachers and school environment.. not about "I was not happy with one teacher
Posted by a parent on 3/3/2024It’s great if you are a smart kid. But anyone that needs help or has any sort of IEP….. forget about it. The focus on the smart kids and treat all the others like trash. Peabody’s public schools stink.
