"Yes. this school is the worst school ive EVER been to. because at my elementary school, I passed the MCAS for the two years I was their for. At this school, ive never passed the MCAS. They should close because new bedford high or even voc is better with the hands on projects or experiments.The teachers here are to strict and they force so much on you rather than helping. My grades have gone down just from the quickness and horrible teaching at this school. When I graduate, I will be sure to leave a comment of why I have never liked this school. Hopefully they will close, They should focus on the strengthen of the schools already existing then rather making more schools. Thanks for reading :) Close Quote
