I agree.....very poor teachers lack of teacher student communication. Too much violence in this school and way too much bullying....way too much, school should be closed!!!

This school is a horrible school!!.. I had to transfer all 3 of my children out of this school because they would come home complaining about the teachers doing completly nothing about the constant bullying and threats. I defenintly would not recomend this school to anyone! If I were you I would get my hcild out of this school now! their is cursing every where you go, no respect, and the staff doesn't help the students... They should really shut this school down!

This is my first yr. At norland middle.This is like a home away from home to me.Some kids thing that the school dont care about them but to me this is a very very good school.The staff try there best to teach us in the coolest way they could but some kids take advantage of that and make the teacher mad.The security guards are always trying there best to stay alert and keep us safe.It works let me tell you that.This yr there was a bomb threat and it was from a stranger.We settled that in less than 2 hours.We stayed on track through the rest of the day.So mostly I love this school no-matter what bad rumors goes around!

I currently attend norland middle school. I am in the 7th grade and ive been there since the sixth. I plan to attend next year as well. I know this school in and out. I also know all of the faculty and staff. Norland does it best to make sure every student feels like its our home away from home. I mean, because of the location, we aren't physically protected. A majority of the school are african-american kids and because of this, people automatically label us as slow, disabled....Etc. As a result of this we feel careless to learn. We feel like who cares about us? The teachers only come to get a paycheck. But overall,the school is well rounded and its magnet is very well disciplined. The bathrooms may not be clean but it is more than a great enviornment to learn. And our administration is also good.

At the school the student behavior and academic levels are low. Although this is true currently in a magnet and gifted I find the school OK though I find some problems with believing I am completely safe due to huge happenings such as food fights and many bad influences around school.

this is my last year at norland middle. i have attended this school since the year 2004, since the sixth grade. this school is a great school. Even though we might sometimes have flaws but what can i say every child has their days. I mean 1400 students there is never going to be a day where every student is satisfied. The schools advantages is thy dont begin until promptly 9:00am and it has one of the best magnet students. dont judge the school by what you heard things change give it a chance. you will never know untill you try. yeah and people say its the students, you can stop all that right there thats a negative;lets say you dont beleive me all you got to do is tell your child to choose his freinds. i give this school a 8/7 of10!

i went to norland from the sixth to the eighth grade, and i can honestly say that its an 'OK' the only problems at that school is that there is a lot of rumors that go about the students and most of the time, the teachers and faculty dont do anything about until something big happens.

Generally a good school, they are trying thier best to improve school grades and ratings. The teachers are involved and helpful. The school is a bit overcrowded and old but they have added 2 new annexs. I would like to see more electives. Overall I would say the school is average to above average.

i Liked this school a lot. The classes are easy learn in and its fun. I think most kids prefer to learn at school they enjoy and thats how I felt about norland. i dont care what nobody has to say about it's past, it is'nt that way anymore, and that school the realist one i've been to.
