It’s tough to have one middle school to accommodate such a large city however, I think the Higgins has done a great job. The school is beautiful and my children had very successful times here.

My son started last year. Wonderful news school and good classes he really likes it he got excellent grades. Thanks for all the hardworking teachers
3/3/2024
My kid will go there next year beautiful school looking forward to it. Other low reviews are not fair as they are about rude bus drivers or other subjective not so happy parents. Rating should be about student advancements,teachers and school environment.. not about "I was not happy with one teacher...

It’s great if you are a smart kid. But anyone that needs help or has any sort of IEP….. forget about it. The focus on the smart kids and treat all the others like trash. Peabody’s public schools stink.
