Central Regional Middle School

I can't say this is a great school. It is a marginal school at best. With the tax dollars we pay in Berekeley Township; I would hope we could do better. The good teachers are hard to find and the marginal teachers are in abundance! Most classes are so large that the average child gets lost. This school caters to the academically advanced and challenged. Bullying in the hallways between classes is rampant and goes unchecked by the teachers monitoring. Very disappointed as my children came from H&M Potter and BTES which are both great Berkeley elementary schools. The Central Regional School system needs help!

Absolutely devastated that my child has to attend this school. When we first moved to the area, I could not have been happier with the Berkeley Schools (H&M Potter & Berkeley Township Elementary). This year the oldest of my four children entered middle school which, in this area, includes a transfer of school districts to Central Regional. With my son, who was thriving in Berkeley, having some trouble adjusting to the new school, we asked for a meeting to see what could be done. Our meeting seemed to be accepted with utter disinterest by some of the staff. When we asked what could be done to help my child, whom had been in the enrichment program his entire school career and is now struggling in Central, One teacher had the audacity to say, "Well, I have 29 kids in that class, what do you want me to do?" Her attitude seems to resonate throughout the school. There was also an incident of my son being bullied that was apparently never addressed correctly as I had to return to the school on multiple occasions for the issue. Now, unfortunately, my family will be moving because it would be a disservice to my children to send them there. At least they have tenure to protect them.

The stair wells are the most beautifully painted things I have ever seen!

I currently go to this school, as an 8th grader, and I think it's a great school for your family to go to. It has such wonderful techers who will helo you with anything you need, and its extra-curricular activites are superb

This school is by far a horrible school. Don't go to it, just don't.

This schoool is a great school! It has loads of after school activitys and sports (yes, even for the middle schoolers). At first I was nervous for my daughter to go to this school, because i had heard nasty things about it. But we whent to the orientation and I was blown away. My daughter has now attended her first year there and she is so happy with it. And she says she cant wait to go to Central High. Go Eagles!

I was a student there and loved it. It's your classic public school, but its got great character and pride.

Central Regional Middle School is a great place for kids to learn. There are many extra activitys and there is nothing to worry about. Of course that is from my point of view!
