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 hate this school because the students at the school are mean and they are not strict enough. I have read all of the other reviews and I agree with the people who do not recommend this school, all that they said are right. So if you are thinking about going here, I 100% do not recommend going here.

North Bethesda Middle School is a pretty great school overall, but it definitely has some flaws. Some students do not feel safe there. There are fights very often. Most of the teachers are good, some are great, and a few are terrible.

They do have a dress code, but don't enforce it, so what is the point of having it. Some students can be very disrespectful to teachers and their peers. They talk back when they d...
