It's just not a great school! It's started of ok but it got worse and worse and the teachers treat you like a 2 year old! I do not recommend for middle school

Our son attended from kindergarten through 8th. It was a wonderful experience for him. He was taught by enthusiastic and creative educators. He also learned great study skills that have served him well at Choate Rosemary Hall. I am confident he'll be well prepared for college thanks to the foundation that The Country School provided.
