Mi hijo tiene 3 años en esa escuela y aun no veo avance. Sufrio de bullying en el primer año y no vi el gran interes de solucionar el problema hasta que tomamos medidas contra la escuela. Veo que tienen mas horas en diversion que en estudio... son muchas las faltas!

My daughter attends this school and she is having such a wonderful experience. She is excelling and she has no problems with bullies. I love that fact that she loves going to school. The staff are very nice and very supportive in any situation that I've faced involving the school. They are very attentive of the children and love what they do. They are also great for keeping parents informed of everything that goes on in the school community.

This is the worst school in all of Boston, there is a lot of bullying by other students and nobody does anything about it. Please do not let your son go to that school.

I am trying to get my child out of this school for many reasons. First of all, when you walk in the office, the principal and staff doesn't even say hello. They act as if your not there. Some of the staff have attitudes and are not professional They don't seem happy there. Doors are always open in the back of the school which isn't safe for our students. It is one of the lowest performing Boston public schools. Test scores are horrible. If you want your child to just "get by" and not excel, then come to this school.

In my opinion one of the best Boston Public schools. Last year went through a major transition moving schools, accepting middle school kids from a completely different school with different expectations,etc. Last year was a tough year,the new kids fighting, some kids from young achievers had never witnessed kids physically fighting before. It was pretty chaotic. We thought we had lost our wonderful school community. But with the incredible leadership and community of committed teachers and parents, this year the new kids are now integrated into the community and doing great. The school feels more like itsself again. Young Achievers has a speciality for inclusion, which means the school has a number of special needs kids. When looking at MCAS scores parents should take this into account as scores will be lower because of this.
