I couldn't ask for a better neighborhood school. Some of the negative comments seem to stem from problems in the reviewers own life. Nothing is perfect and everything is what you make of it. Get involved and work with the school and your child, and you will have a great experience here.

This is a horrible school. We moved here this year from another town and I can't believe how terrible this school is. The pick up and drop off is out of control. There have been no test/grades to date and it is November. All I hear about is bullying. The principal only cares about students and parents who like him. I wish I never moved to Gardner, just because of this school. Hoping the middle school isn't as bad as this.

My son has been going to this school for three years. I have got to say I have never visited a school so many times I gave the school letter stating that my son has ADHD they seem not busy enough to know how to work with a child with ADHD I get constant complaints constant emails my son is constantly being removed from Recess it's terrible I'm removing my son from the school I can't take it anymore I got so much anxiety so much stress over it I just can't stand it anymore the staff does not know how to work with it. I have seen the things that the teachers have written with my son he's 10 years old I'm not saying that he's perfect but I'm not saying that the complaints that the teachers are saying about him are for me as a parent I find the complains to be Petty complain such as high quote the child did not stay in his place as told. Things of that nature I've been such a horrible experience for my son and my family as well but a lot of arguments between my husband and I. When I first began this year with the school I asked them to see if they can put my son in an IEP for behavior issues but they stated that my son didn't need him here here we are three years down the road and my son has a folder just for him full of complaints because of his behavior my son has gotten depressed over the situation at school so I guess it's my I blame myself as a parent for not taking action sooner.

I am appalled by this school. My son comes home everyday in tears because of the verbal /physical abuse from kids, his teacher puts him down in front of the class and calls me with ridiculous problems! I'm looking to take him out of this school asap! I will not be sending my daughter here! And neither should you
