GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I've been really happy with Bigelow. It is the smallest middle school in Newton and I think that has helped my child. My son is in 7th grade and has flourished here. I've met many of the teachers through meetings and volunteer activities and have been impressed.

The teachers at Bigelow are terrific. The school administration is poor, worse than anything I have ever experienced. Unless your child is Harvard bound and has no learning disabilities, this is NOT the school for your child. It was a great mistake to send out child here.
