South Row has great structure for students. There is a high level of engagement from my daughter’s teachers and communication from teachers is timely. You can see that there is an incredible amount of thought put into the curriculum and activities that are offered all year round. My daughter loves the incentives they have an opportunity to earn as a class, grade level or whole school. They collectively work towards earning pride points which is an exciting way to celebrate the contribution of one or many towards their common goals. My daughter is excited about learning and her environment reflects diversity which is super important to me. The Principal and Vice-Principal are very hands on and you can tell they run a tight ship. They are very organized and I love the experience they have created alongside the teachers, for both parents and students.

School staff is very hard-working and are always on the toes to do tasks in organized and excellent manner. Teachers are equally hard-working and creative in teaching and engaging students.

Both my kids attend South Row. The principle and teachers are doing a great job. They focus not just on academic achievements but also a child character development.

Excellent school, teachers and education. Great computer and music programs. Chelmsford schools test very high on the MCA's tests.

The male/female ratio is 14/5. My daughter has a difficult time concentrating due to the" classroom being out of control." She has used the word" embarrassed" to express how she feels when her classroom travels out of the room, as she feels the other classrooms "listen and act respectfully." When forgetting her lunch ticket, I received a telephone call stating that there was no budget to cover her, so I had to leave work to deliver her money. The front desk staff is cold and unfriendly, the children, after coming off the busses in the am have limited/no supervision from staff. My two times in the school during this time, I saw shoving, bullying, crying...it was ridiculous. My daughter has come home with numerous ungraded/marked papers, and the curriculum is disappointing, and homework is not well explained. I am relocating as soon as my child is finished this year. I wish I would have moved elsewh

After budget cuts two years ago we were saddened to here we were being redistriced to South Row. Well, let me tell you.....it was a blessing in disguise and we have found that the school is a hidden gem in a fantastic town. The principal is an active daily pressence in the school with excellent communication. We are proud to be a part of the school and the teachers can not be beat!
