Naugatuck Middle school: If you want to promote your child into the criminal world than this school is for you!
If you want to give your child an eduction than don't send your child to this school!!!
Naugatuck made a colossal mistake by combining their 2 middle schools together!

This school is the worst school in the entire town of Naugatuck Connecticut. The Teachers do not know how to connect with their students and their teaching methods do not work.
