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.

this school is average because i don't think that the teachers actually listen to the kids in my opinion and there are some back standing people there like the counselors tell your parents abt stuff u don't want them to know.

Nelson Ave. Middle School has its requirements. With a new principal things may slightly change big or little. The nurse is great and so are the teachers. They make you feel involved and safe like family.

It doesn't have very well quality nor high funding, but they do what they can. They do have a CSF group that helps for your future. It depends if the students decide to join those types of clubs or not.

My son has been attending this school for only a few weeks, since August 19,2015. He has already had 2 bullying incidents in which one of them he was punched on the collar bone and bruised. I am a majority involved parent, and I was promised by the principal that she would call me if ANYTHING happen...
