Northern Guilford Middle School

NGMS is top notch! The teachers and administration truly care about our children's learning experience and they all go over and above volunteering their time with extra-curricular activities like athletics, drama, Campus Life, community outreach, etc.

Administration and general atmosphere have changed at this school in the past three years and it is now awesome! Teachers, parents and students are happy and growing. While there is always room for improvement, the attitude there is now one willing to work together to continue rising to the top. Cannot say enough good things about principal there now. Change is a good thing and she is getting things done!

NMGS is good - for this area, but NC schools are not all that good to begin with. The principal is very good, but teachers commit to things and don't follow through. Teachers talk big about staying up to date with communication and web-based tools to communicate assignments, projects and such, then a month later - no more. Often, interim reports are distributed two weeks late. What is the point of providing the web access if it is not going to be used? Waste of tax dollars! In fairness, there are a few who are actually are self-disciplined, but its the minority of them. The only reason for the sucess is parental involvement and expecations are high in this location.

I was a student at NGMS for the past three years (2007-2010) and I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. The teachers and staff are very nice and understanding, and most of the teachers offer tutoring or retakes on tests in the mornings or after school. I have made so many friendships witha lot of my classmates, and there is a numerous amount of clubs and activities to get involved in (as well as athletics). I give this school a 4 because they are still fairly new and have room for improving. Many parents are not very happy with the fact that a few teachers are showing movies, but these are shown usually at the end of the year after testing is over and we are pretty much done with our studies. I really enjoyed Northern, and I hope you come to find it to your liking!
