Northeast Middle School

Northeast Middle School sits in Reading, a working-class city in Berks County that's seen its share of challenges but holds a tight-knit community spirit that's hard to find elsewhere. With scores that place it among the lower tier of Pennsylvania middle schools, this school will be a better fit for families who are actively engaged in their child's education and willing to supplement what happens in the classroom. Reading itself offers an affordable cost of living and easy access to the broader Philadelphia metro, making it an option for families who want urban character without big-city price tags.
