This is a school with great academic resources. But teaching in one way, not taking into account differences of children. Not good communication from the school and staff- which how can we as help our kids if we don’t know what is going on? Tattle telling, and petty drama. Preferential treatment and snobbiness.

I love this school so much. I have had the best experience as a parent here. I can’t say enough good things about the principal and staff. I feel so lucky!! It’s off to middle school now, but my daughter loved this school very much. :)

Center school is a great school. Colonial New England feel, right there on the town green, nearby historic homes!

I have three children who have gone through or are enrolled at center. The educational standards are high and the children rise to expectations. The principal is highly involved and the teachers are wonderful. The school offers outstanding resources and is overall a wonderful school.

Great teachers and faculty. The other parent's are kind, welcoming and not pretentious and there is a real community feel. My children are really learning and enjoying every minute of it.

Center School is what you want an elementary school to be. It has caring, well-educated teachers and a principal who truly watches over every child. The teachers know their students, and reach out to families. The PTO is very active and involves families in a plethora of activities. Is it perfect? No school is, but Center School strives to meet every students' needs. I am so happy my child grew up at Center School.

I'ts just okay. Certainly they could be a powerhouse if they chose, especially given the demographics of Longmeadow, but they seem content to just go for good test scores and then sit back. Our teacher was not responsive and seemed not to care very much about our child as an individual.

I find Center school to be a great school. Every school have room for improvements but that's not to say that Center needs lots of it. I have a 3rd grader here and so far she truly likes it. The Cafeteria is probably the only complain she's had in the last 4 years. Other than that she has loved every single one of her teachers, feels pretty safe within the school grounds and has never feel left out by her teacher. Our overall experience at Center has been a plesant one.
