Upton Middle School is a quality school with high standards for academic and personal excellence. The orchestra instruction available for 6th, 7th, and 8th grades is top-notch. Educators and staff are caring and first class, parents and community are highly involved.
This is the best school! My school friends are nice, the principal is great and they really try to prepare you for college at this age. There are advanced courses to prepare for AP courses in High School. The sports department is awesome! And I love the visiting authors. This is great school
Upton Middle School provides my children an opportunity to grow academically in ways other schools cannot. The school provides advanced courses and Math and Adv Literature to prepare them for AP courses in High School if that is the path the child wants to take. Upton Middle School provides opportunities to learn orchestra (best in state!), life skills, and journalism and other things to develop my childs area of interest. The 'no tolerance' policy is great. Parents can be involved in different activites and the staff is warm and wecoming.
This is a great school! It gives us such great opportunities as kids to try out all different kinds of classes. I especially love the foods class. I highly recommened this school!
this School Is awesome! It has grreat teachers and awesome classes! Like computers and sewing! I recomend going to this school.
Teachers and administrators work closely together. Incredible comaraderie among administrators, teachers and students.
This school is great! The teachers are fun, they're experienced, and know how to make the class fun for me and my fellow students.
I have nothing but positive things to say about this school. I currently have a 6th grader who has transferred to Upton and I am pleased with the school. The teachers are committed to the students on a personal level and make themselves available and accessible to parents when needed. Parental involvement is a huge factor and the school has a family-like atmosphere. They are right on target when it comes to exposing children to up to date technology. Students grades are posted on a secure website, parents also have access to attendance records at a click of the mouse. I highly recommend this school!
I have two students at this school, and I can't sing its praises high enough - private school quality education on the public education level! They've really gone above and beyond what most public schools would do to insure my children's success!
