The school isn't terrible but isn't the best. Lots of rude kids and a good amount of fights but there are some really nice teachers. I was able to make a good amount of friends but that also led to drama and fights. Not the worst middle school experience but a lot could be fixed.
Posted by a student on 6/3/2021When I was in elementary school, I liked school. Now I hate going to school and wish I was homeschooled. In conclusion, my experience is horrible. The only thing I enjoyed was making new friends.

Posted by a parent on 5/19/2019I currently have a 7th grade daughter attending BMS. My daughter was hesitant, at first, upon entering the middle school. To be honest, so was I. However, my daughter quickly transitioned. This is due to the skilled and intuitive staff. The principal is more than open to having conversations, as I'v
Posted by a community member on 2/23/2017We moved into the district when my daughter was entering 7th grade. She knew noone at the school, and there are a LOT of children there. Her teachers and the staff were all very attentive. Whenever I've called with a question or concern, they've either answered the phone personally, or called me bac

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe love Spring Garden! The teachers are incredibly dedicated and my child comes home happy and curious. The PTA is very involved and there are plenty of family opportunities. Every spring they do a Strawberry Festival which is a pop up carnival in the big field out back. I wish there was more racial diversity across teachers and staff but they do a good job on introducing holidays that aren’t only based in Christianity. We are very happy with our experiences!

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur family’s experience with Montclair Cooperative School was devastating. After touring and being assured that our son — a twice-exceptional, academically gifted child on the Autism spectrum — could be supported, we submitted his records. Almost immediately, the admissions office reversed course and told us they would not move forward with his application because of his disability, saying he would be “better served” in public school. His academic strengths and test scores were ignored.This is not just disappointing, it is discriminatory. The school has accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayer-funded grants and forgivable loans, which means it is legally bound under the ADA, Section 504, IDEA, and the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination to provide equal access. Instead, it shut the door on our son because of his diagnosis.We pursued every available appeal, including with the State of New Jersey. Even though the state acknowledged the facts, they declined to pursue the case further — not because discrimination wasn’t present, but because they lacked confidence in prevailing in court.Families should know that if your child has a disability, this school may exclude them rather than work with you. For a school that markets itself as progressive and community-oriented, our experience was the opposite. Parents of neurodiverse children: proceed with extreme caution.Parent Review8mo ago
