Glenfield Middle School 

The “performing arts middle school” full of talentless kids who act like they’re special. All of the trumpet players in the orchestra are on crack and most of the kids don’t bother doing well in classes because they still get to go to high school. 10/10 would not recommend.

Person 1: you go to Glenfield Middle School?
Person 2: yeah.
Person 1: ew.

Glenfield Middle School 

This school sucks! The teachers are mean, give you to much homework, and don’t give a fuck about your life. Starts way to early but by the end of the day, all the kids seem like they are on crack. It is in the poorest part of town but half of the kids are still rich.

Glenfield Middle School is the stupidest fucking school there is!

Glenfield Middle School

A Middle School in the NYC-suburb of Montclair, NJ, established in 1896 in an Historically Black neighborhood, Glenfield was one of the first Magnet Schools created in Northern New Jersey following the protests and race riots in the "Long Hot Summer" of 1967 and NJ Supreme Court decisions in the 60s and 70s requiring steps to combat de facto segregation beyond "freedom of choice" plans (e.g. Rice v. Montclair Board of Education, 1966, and Jenkins v. Morristown, 1971). Glenfield was designated the Magnet School for Performing Arts (while Upper Montclair's Mount Hebron - now named after Astronaut and Montclair Native Buzz Aldrin - became the Magnet School for Math and Science) - with students from any part of town able to select where to go, with bussing available. A short bus-ride from NYC theaters and TV studios, Glenfield has strong Performing Arts programs and its students and alumni have gone on to professional careers in the Performing Arts and has been used as a movie site with students selected as extras. Glenfield also has options for advanced courses in liberal arts and math and sciences. Glenfield maintains a strong connection with Black Culture and Black History, which is often included in all subjects, e.g. Black Scientists in Science classes, Black Authors in English classes, etc.
