Athol-Royalston Middle School

Reading the other reviews....seems like a great deal complaining made by parents who give vague generalizations. I have had 2 children attend and I have had a varied experience. I feel that the teachers are exceptional and very dedicated to the students. Lots of hands on learning and innovative ideas. I have not been especially impressed with the school dress code, as it does not reflect other district schools. Overall, I am pleased with the education my child receives.

I am very disappointed with this school. This is why I am taking advantage of school choice and getting my child out of this school.

Academic performance is fair. The sixth grade tachers are really good and my child loves to go there.

I happen to think that this school is a very nice school,and my child does very well at this school. All problems that he has had have been solved in a timely fashion with good results all around.

This school is terrible! They have no clue how to discipline their students and they don't care either! Vice Principle was fantastic, but the principal needs to find another school. They are unable to deal with Special Needs students and forget all about EDPLANs that they are required by law to follow. Child safety is not a priority and they could use some intervention to teach their staff about bullying.
