"Before i moved to NJ, I looked at the schools and reports. I ended up moving into Northfield and have to say I am so happy I did. I think the school system is very good.. The education is superb. The facility is in great shape and teachers care a great deal about the students."

"Sadly the locals of Northfield state "Northfield schools are highly rated like Linwood". "Top school in south Jersey?!?"Look up test scores & it's easily revealed they are not even close! For Elem. & Middle school, you have to live Linwood if you want a decent education for your child. Unfortunately, once a student reaches high school it's on to Mainland High.....another inferior choice as it's terrible. There is one all boys private prep school for high school down there, but it is a good drive to get there. (at least a 1/2 hour commute) People looking at relocating do your research online prior to moving!"

"NCS is truly a "Community" School. The family support and excellence in education makes this one of the top schools in South Jersey!"

"I was a student at this school years ago and now am a student teacher about to graduate TCNJ. In the time I spent tutoring and teaching in several schools I have yet to see another school match the quality of education that was provided at NCMS. It should also be noted that all that this school operates with a budget below state averages, yet still produces students who achieve greatly in high school and beyond. As to the complaints about bullying that I have read in other reviews, I do remember seeing it myself as a student. However, what I have seen in other schools is far worse than what I experienced at Northfield and it is naive to believe that kids will ever treat all their peers with respect and kindness. I don't like seeing multiple negative reviews for a school I remember fondly and a school that looks better and better in comparison as I work in more schools."

"I was a student at this school several years ago, and I must say that I find it very interesting that this school is JUST NOW cracking down on its extreme problem with bullying. I was SEVERELY bullied when I attended NCS, along with several other students, to the point where there were several incidents that my parents and other parents would come up to the school and complain. Every time they were told something would be done and nothing was ever done. I will even go as far as to say that teachers even encouraged the bullies, favoring the "popular" students and not encouraging those who faded into the background. I think the steps they are now taking to prevent bullying are too little, too late, as the damage has been done in many circumstances of some of the other students in my graduating class."
