I was a Special needs student at the school that Moved over from Brockton and My experience was quite poor here. The teachers is treated me like I had an issue And barely helped with work, they also Tried to push the blame on me when I was trying to report My support teacher for Making me cry very often, Making me feel distressed, Dread Coming to school and being the reason why I have lots of absences, and that Experience eventually Caused me to be diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and Given Therapy. The principal barely did anything on the situation; All she did was put on the teachers records and Got someone to “tell” the teacher To be nice to me like she was a CHILD! A grown Woman Shouldn’t have to be told to be Gentle to a student.This School is quite notorious For treating children Quite strictly, Even to the point that I heard stories about kids there focusing on a spiderweb during recess and Getting yelled at for using “too many napkins” During lunch when they were being served soup in the Second grade (Were kids are commonly known to be very messy around that age). As a past student talking to parents On this website, I don’t recommend sending your kids here With an experience like mine and the School being known for that.

I am so disappointed in this neighborhood elementary school. The school is old, run down, cluttered and out right dirty. Now if I was able to look past that, the principle is less than impressive. She does not appear to be the most professional nor does she seem to have much control over the school. The teachers so far seem really good, however, it is hard to see that through the way the school is run.
