The school does nothing for us. as a student this school has failed me they do nothing for safety. students openly talk about doing drugs and fighting infront of teachers. For example I heard kids 12-13 year old talking about shooting up (drugs) and heard where fight are going to happen not even 10 feet from a teacher. either the teachers are deaf or most likely don’t care. One time I had trouble with classmates outside of school and they did nothing to separate us. The kids mother was threatening to come to my house and hurt me. They don’t care about safety of students at all

This school is located in a predominantly white, middle-class area, and while the building itself feels a bit dated, most of the staff are generally polite and professional. However, the leadership leaves much to be desired. The principal often comes across as condescending and lacks sensitivity when dealing with students—she tends to scold rather than guide or redirect.

Unfortunately, this tone seems to carry over to some of the teachers as well. While a few genuinely try, others appear disengaged or quick to accuse, at times isolating students instead of supporting them. If you’re considering this school, I would strongly recommend looking into other options in the area before making a decision. Choosing North East Middle may feel more like settling than finding the best environment for your child

My experience with this school has been disappointing. My child is not receiving support from the teachers to ensure success. I have been in contact with almost ALL of of my child's teachers with concerns of lack of support in class and lack of communication outside of class. Support and communication is vital for my child because he is autistic and has an IEP. I have been and will continue to advicate for his success but if something does not get better I WILL BE LOOKING FOR BETTER PLACEMENT. My child had great support and success at Solley Elementary so I expected better from Northeast Middle School. Overrall it seems there are very few teachers that care to engage or provide assistance for the children that just need a little more help to succeed.

This school drains your students the teachers all they do is yell at us we don’t have support from them. The “popular kids” they get always with everything yes I am one of them but I’m not like them they do a lot of stuff to make people feel bad about them. Such as even body shaming and using harmful words. Some teachers are really nice but another’s are really not. None of us get support during missing work to catch up you have to ask for it. It genuinely so hard in this school and every student can agree but they are so scared to tell the teachers. Shouldn’t we feel safe to talk to them? We need a safe space and that’s the last thing they are giving us. I do not recommend unless you want your kid suffering from insecurity,anxiety,social anxiety,bullying.depression, and a lot more stuff.

The experience at this school is okay. Teaching and the learning experience is also fine. I would say the tests and quizzes are about average. In the hallways safety is an issue currently, violence, discrimination, and racism is common in the hallways. In classrooms, most of my classes are getting in a lot of trouble and teaching also affects the learning experience. In hallways, the administration also tries to stop students from getting in trouble but then when they stop them, there´s more people being troublemakers. Overall, the school is okay!

Everything has been excellent. Parents are involved. Good administration, teachers are great! I attended Severna Park Schools, and for the most part I prefer the schools in Pasadena.....so much so, i am waiting to move back to Severna park until after my son is in college.

Socially, emotionally, and behaviorally I feel George Fox did very well with developing it's students. They really try to make everyone feel welcome and encourage friendships. Academically, I feel like they are average when it comes to preparing students for exams and low average in the area of homework. Middle school is suppose to set these kids up for high school, and my daughter was shocked this year in 9th grade with the amount of homework she has to do. It took her a while to adjust to the amount of homework and how to manage her schedule to make sure she gets it done.

Posted: February 10, 2019

Homework was given, but I didn't feel like enough of it was given when you compare it to the amount they get when they go to high school.

Posted: February 10, 2019

Most of the teachers care about their students and work with them to make sure their students are successful. At least the students who want to be successful.

Posted: February 10, 2019

From the 3 years my daughter was there, all students worked together, spoke to each other, and sat together at lunch time. Even the special education students. Every school has clicks/ groups of friends who hang out more together than with others.

My daughter never had an issue with bullying during the three years she was there. Neither did any of her friends.

Posted: September 19, 2018

Home work is given in balanced doses.

Posted: September 19, 2018

Teachers are engaged and care about the students.

My oldest is in his second year and we are happy. He is able to take some advanced classes and participate in after school clubs (with a bus!). The teachers are good at communicating expectations and assignments through use of apps, emails, flyers, social media... there is a way for each person!

Posted: September 4, 2017

There are a ton of programs and clubs kids can be apart of. I feel that if you allow your child to become involved in their school and community, they will want to make it a better place. A lot of parents don't want to be bothered or involved, hence their children don't either. You get what you put into it.

Posted: September 4, 2017

I love the vice principal, whenever either of my children have had any issues, they take ownership, discuss & address the issues quickly. They also keep me in the loop which I appreciate.

Posted: September 4, 2017

My eldest son and daughter both had IEP's for articulation since they were in elementary school. George Fox worked with both of them in different ways to help them become successful and eventually be removed from the program.

Posted: September 4, 2017

Again they have programs, clubs and open discussions around bullying and what you should do if you see it or experience it first hand. Again, I think it comes back to parent involvement. When my children have further questions on situations, they come to me and we talk them out. This is true for them personally or what the see happening.

Posted: September 4, 2017

Like any school, some teachers are more effective then others. Some, new to their roles, may have trouble controlling a class or keeping up with the grading. I have on a few occasions brought this to the attention of the Vice Principal only after I got no where with the teachers themselves. Ultimately, the problems were addressed and fixed.

Posted: September 4, 2017

Teachers have set days your child can stay after to receive additional help in class. Whether it be classwork or homework. Although the days and times are different for each teacher. They are there to help. Your child or yourself need only to ask.

Posted: September 4, 2017

I would rate it a 4.5 overall. They do need some upgrades in the school, but that is the county and much needed funding. The kids are just that, kids. Some are nasty, others sweet and kind each with their own individual personality. The teachers, for the most part, work hard to help them all. The class sizes are reasonable and school is kept very clean.

Popular kids are always messing up iep students work

Posted: May 27, 2017

This school has a lot to improve on, "popular kids" always picking on IEP kids and the iep kids get in trouble for no reason, try not to bring your kid here.

I cannot wait for my daughter to be done with the school. I have had numerous issues with the teachers. For example, grades marked as failing but when I question the teacher I was told, "Its possible she turned it in, my desk is a mess." The rules to use the bathroom are ridiculous. My daughter has gone into class before the bell has rang, asked to use the restroom and is told by the teacher, "I cant make you late". She proceeds to use the bathroom and when she returns is marked late. Even tho she was already in the class BEFORE the bell and asked to use the restroom. I have sent letters in the beginning of the year stating the days that she would miss school and she is still marked down as unexcused, I have to call and send in ANOTHER letter because the attendance person doesn't have time to look thru the file. The gym teacher did not require a note to miss gym when my daughter fractured her ankle but required one for her to return to gym. I had to provide a doctors note in order for her to carry a water bottle. Not only does the note need to be on file, she needs a copy of it, which wasn't told to me until the teacher told her. The principal calls every WEEK with a weekly update, followed by a email. I don't receive a weekly call/email from my son's elementary school, why do I need it from a middle school? At one point are the kids going to be responsible? The grades are not updated online in a timely manner and interim's are sent home with grades that haven't changed in over a month.

The worse ever!! There is little to no communication from teachers regarding mandatory after school events like the fashion show. Only 2 weeks notice and the threat to fail the students if they can't come or make them write a 13 page essay. The school does not do anything to control and change bad behavior. The "popular kids" get away with everything and constantly disrupt class with no consequences. You hear all sorts of foul language if you walk down the halls, students have phones out all time, and frequent fights. I would highly recommend doing anything possible to avoid this school.

I love the principal, administrative staff and teachers, they are wonderful! My son has had issues with bullying, but they have been on top of it.

Overall, this is a nice school with nice students, etc. No complaints here. Good choice.

I would have given the school a grade of good, but I am very disappointed in the Principal. With my daughter coming from High Point, where Mr. Merritt was a constant presence and knew every child by name, I may be biased and expecting more than the norm. My daughter is in all of the advanced classes and loves her teachers. Overall, if the Principal and the rest of the administrators would get out of their offices and interact with the children, the school has the potential to be a great school. I have not seen the Principal at any of the School Fundraisers and he skipped the 6th grade orientation this year (2015) that we attended as my son will attend next year.

Posted: May 3, 2014

This school has a lot to improve on. A LOT of bad behavior and little control over students. There's a lot that goes and the administrators pay little attention to it. There's a fight at least once every few days, At least in the 8th grade.

Posted: April 28, 2014

I am very disappointed with my daughter's learning experience at George Fox Middle. Most of her teachers, with the exception of two, had poor classroom management, hardly assigned thought provoking assignments, hardly gave homework. Lots of poor behavior at the school.

Posted: September 1, 2012

My thoughts exactly! And why was the building so dark! On a good note my kid had a fantastic week and loves all of her teachers!

Posted: August 14, 2012

Im not sure how to feel about the Principal being a no show for the 6th grade orientation tonight. If he avoids the easy stuff how does he handle the difficult task of being a leader at a school with a less then perfect reputation??

Posted: March 5, 2012

Nice school, teachers avail themselves to the students. Fox Paws are great incentives. No bullying issues. My children are happy there, and have learned alot from science and math teachers.

Posted: February 20, 2012

I had fun attending the school. Only if I spent one year there. The teachers were horriable. And the school is in the ghetto. That was one of my best years

Posted: December 6, 2011

My child is a 6th grader. He was nervous about George Fox because of bad rumors. We have learned that those are just rumors! My child's teachers are caring & helpful, and want my child to succeed. They give encouragement and recognition every day. Despite the school's poor standardized test grades on average, my child is always above average compared to county and state, so regardless of the school"s performance as a whole, my child is excelling and thats all I care about! The new principal is caring and wants to make it a great school. After school clubs, after school help and activiity buses are a great benefit. So far so good at George Fox. Don't believe all the bad rumors!

I love this school im in all advance classes there and going into 8th this year so far algebra 1 was ok my teacher at first helped us then he during the middle of the year he kid around with us but then when the important stuff came like the hsa and final he kicked in and helped some thing i dont like is that some teachers expect you to know stuffand you really dont and that there are some fights people throw stuff in class and some time teachers tont relize and that there is so many brodjects i had like 18 last year and that cost some money but over all this is a good school
