Amity Middle School: Bethany

• Amity Regional School District No. 5, CT
• 7-8
• 1

Senior: Amity Middle School Bethany was a great two years for me. It brought two towns together, so we were able to meet new people. There are two teams for each grade. While I did not meet all the teachers - the teachers I had were fantastic! Great school to spend your 7th and 8th grade!

Parent: Fantastic school! If your child is gifted or needs extra attention this is the school to be at. It’s ranked number one in Connecticut for a reason. I’m not sure what value private schools could offer that this public school couldn’t, especially at this age level.

King Philip Middle School

• West Hartford School District, CT

Niche User: My 8th grader has learned a lot and is well-prepared for high school. Since she entered in 6th grade, I notice much more openness to parent involvement, and MUCH better home-school communication. When my youngest entered 6th grade this year, the orientation and parent communication was fabulous-- like night and day as compared to 3 years ago. I love the weekly newsletters sent by email, as they are hugely informative. The school counselor my kids are assigned to is also amazing--so responsive and supportive. While there have been a couple of teachers I have not found to be ideal for either of my kids, the vast majority are top notch. KP has been great for both of my children.

Saxe Middle School

• New Canaan School District, CT
• 5-8
• 4

Junior: Saxe Middle School is a friendly, welcoming environment. Yes, there is not much diversity, but how can the school help the kind of kids who go there? I first started Saxe in 2014. Every single teacher and student has been nice. There has been a few snarky comments here and there between some kids, but it is completely and totally not enough for any child to feel threatened or hurt in a way that could make them super self conscious. Besides, that is normal in a school, right? Not everyone is going to be nice and caring all the time. All of the teachers care about the students feelings and behavior and will be concerned of anybody looks unhappy. At lunch time, the kids sit in different groups of friends, sort of like cliques. But, almost every kid is happy with their friends. The ones who are not happy are speaking with the guidance counselors, teachers, and their parental guardians. Most kids are really nice and caring at Saxe, I know I have tried to be.

East Lyme Middle School

• East Lyme School District, CT

Parent: The Kiva system (grouping about 80 students in a large space containing four classrooms, a common area, restrooms and lockers) is great for the younger students since this school has grades 5-8. By 8th grade, the students are more than ready to move on to high school. The principal has retired and the new principal who had been an assistant principal is promising. Previously, the principal did not support the sports at the middle school and not many were offered. Hopefully that is something that will change. This school uses PBIS which rewards students for behaviors that should be expected, and the students know that. Many after school clubs and students are able to create new clubs if they find a teacher to sponsor them. Not many socials/dances like other area middle schools. Good school overall.
