I was discriminated at Walpole Public Schools by another employee.I tried explaining I had trouble with certain tasks because of my autism and she said “Well maybe you should look for a different job.” I quit because I did not feel supported by the principal.I was encouraged by someone I know who works in the school system to message the superintendent.I did and they completely minimized my experience, and tried to gaslight me.The funniest thing is she wished me the best of luck on “my future endeavors.” What a joke

Both of my children have had an incredible experience at this school. They have entirely different learning styles and they both flourished at the Boyden School. Teachers and principal are top notch and genuinely care about the students. So happy to have my children a part of the Boyden family for the elementary years.

10 out of 10. This is a community school that puts the well-being and growth of children first. The school demonstrates strong leadership, talented teachers, and devoted parents. It’s a school with good class sizes. The faculty communicates with parents. They are creative in their solutions during this pandemic, and they are courageous in their efforts to educate our children.

I am absolutely pleased with every person whom we have met on staff. They have a quality before and after school program, a fantastic nurse, highly professional teachers and a great leader. Even the office staff is fantastic. We have a child with dietary restrictions and the entire community has been so amazing—supportive, careful, and involved. Even the cafeteria staff all know her needs and support her. We absolutely LOVE this school.

Both of my children went to this school last year before we moved. This school used to be great but then they picked up the common core thing and a new principal who banned Halloween last year. My child had a issue with stress because of his teacher and we complained about her to the principal and he stopped talking to us! On the last day of school before my family moved the principal talked to me for the first time in a year and a half and asked us why we were moving, all I could think was they have good schools where we're going

Pathetic. "Leadership" is far more concerned with "public image" and coddling little snowflakes then they are with raising well-rounded young girls and boys.
