Harns Marsh Middle School

I enjoy visiting this school and seeing all of the learning that takes place each day.

My son will be leaving Harns Marsh Middle School in May headed to the IB STEM program. He is an honor student at HMM and has already completed 9th grade Algebra and is working on 10th Grade Geometry. His teachers are dedicated, articulate and have been willing to create additional learning opportunities to challenge him. The principals are constantly enhancing the learning experience by raising standards & attracting and retaining amazing teachers! We moved to Gateway from Martha’s Vineyard MA and we has been thrilled with this school.

My experience has been rewarding working as a teacher at HMMS.

I've been heavily involved as a parent with the schools the last four years. The transformation with the new principal has been noteworthy. She has put a strong leadership team in place and got rid of some of the less impactful teachers and has raised the level of rigor across the school. The gifted/honor's teachers here are TOP NOTCH. The schools test score don't tell the whole story. Based on it's location, this school has an inordinate number of students who have been moved along in grades (due to age), that negatively pull down the scores. If you have a gifted child, they will be in ALL advanced classes, unlike some of the "quote unquote" gifted schools in the East Zone.
