Overall it is a wonderful school. Both of my kids have been going to Anne Watson Elementary School since Kindergarten and for the most part have enjoyed and excelled there.Other the 5th/6th grade math teacher "playing favorites" with some of the kids, seeming like she'd rather be anywhere else than in the classroom, and browsing on Facebook during class (my child learned more about her teachers family/life than she learned about math) we've had a pretty good experience with the school.

We have been at AWE for 6 yrs. My kids LOVE this school and so do I. The staff at awe really want our children to succeed in everything. They are here teaching them respect, responsibilty, integrity and much more each year as they grow. AWE holds a great future for all children who attend and I would recommend this school to all family and friends. Great success at AWE!! :)

Statewide, only 8 percent of schools (67 of 859) received this honor. The outstanding rating is based on the school s recently im- AWE receives top rating: 5 proved test scores. Three years ago Anne Watson Elementary was in Year 3 of School Improvement status. Today our school is not only free and clear of any type of school improvement status, we are considered achieving a School of Excellence for Improvement by the state department. Our students and staff are to be commended on their achievements over the last three years. Way to go AWE!

I love Anne Watson Elementary but more importantly, my four children love it! The teachers and staff put kids first. This school has made drastic improvements in the last three years that have had a huge positive impact on my children's education. The reading program and PTO are just a couple of the great changes that have been implemented. This is like a small public, private school. Anne Watson is a hidden jewel in Bigelow that I am so glad my family has had the chance to experience. Thank you AWE!
