Hillside Middle School

I am pretty upset with this 6th grade school . The teachers have zero monitoring compared to 5th grade house. No information about the assignments/tests due for the week is sent to the parent. I am a parent and the teachers in 5th grade house was wonderful. Before my kid came back from bus , I would have information about the different assignments/ test due for the day/week. In 6th grade house, even when we email home room teacher about the upcoming absence no email comes back acknowledging it or if we email about student being absent they say we have no Clue and need to contact the front desk. Not only that, I am being told by the student that the teachers ignore about cussing happening in the corridor by student(s) when teacher is nearby . I am totally unhappy with the teacher I got for 6th grade house and I wish the principal had more control over the staff.

Very disappointed in this school. Old authoritarian school environment. Not a supportive environment at all. I have spent thousands of dollars on outside help recommended by this school to support my son, so they will "assist" him. They are doing nothing to help him. They won't even honor their own Accommodation Plan they wrote. I can't even get a response to an email from their "Resource" teacher or administration. Teachers are sporadic in their communication and fearful of administration. Not a healthy environment at all! I would not recommend this school unless you are interested in appearances.

We switched to NCS from public school during covid, with plans to just stay a year. My kids have loved it so much we’ve continued to send them. I love that they learn about their faith, have a strong academic curriculum, and that they learn how to deal with all the social issues that happen in school with guidance from staff. The character building is something I’ve never seen at a public school. Highly recommend this school!
