This school is s great school, great teachers, amazing facilities, great curriculum. There is no bullying but there is a lot of homework and tests. Also lacks diversity.

School safety is a primary focus, with access only through the front entrance and security sign-in required. The school does not tolerate bullying or any harassment by students or staff. This is well policed by everyone which makes the students feel safe. The school was recently renovated, so it has a fresh and clean environment.

Bullying at Middlesex is rampant and the administration goes out of their way to ignore the issue and place kids with bullies without taking corrective action.

Our transition to MMS has been seamless and our daughter is extremely happy. She has made great friends as well. The teachers have been a great support...

If you are looking to give your children the best classroom education and developmental experience that you can provide - this is it. We looked at all the schools in the area, including public and private offerings. GFA in Greens Farms was equivalent and might be better for those in need of a smalle...
