My daughter has been a student from K-2nd grade and loved it. Small town, school and classes where you end up know most of the other parents and students quickly. Supportive environment, great school.

The school is in the process of doing a complete renovation. It will be amazing once completed. Caring teachers and staff and a great place to build friendships & develop a love of learning. Involved parents who care about education.

The teachers are wonderful and class sizes tend to be low! There is a great community of parents involved in the school and the community. Technology is the Achilles heel of the school. Old computers in the classroom and no smart boards until 5th grade. They are trying, but there is little to no technology budget; the vision for technology in the school is unclear. There is little proactive communication to parents when a problem arises instead they are addressed only after they have escalated. Greater collaboration between administration, teachers, and parents would definitely make it a 5 star school!

This is a really wonderful little school. Class sizes seem to hover around 18-22, I have had K through 2nd grade teachers and they have all been excellent. The "newer" principle has made wonderful improvements and the parent involvement is very strong/supportive. As an educator myself, not working at this school, I can say i am thrilled to have my children here. I think things were shaky here about 3 or 4 years ago as they went through some administrative challenges, but I would say they are headed back in the direction that earned them the presidential award that enticed us when we first moved to Rowley, about 10 years ago.

My child went here years ago. This school did her nothing for her. She wasn't given help because she wasn't the best at math and they evaluated her because they thought she had a learning disability. When in actuality she just needed extra help. She got better with math when she reached the middle school. Truthfully, It would have been better for her if she didn't go to school there. Maybe they changed over the years with the retirement of older teachers. But when my daughter was there that school wasn't the best.
