What people are saying

by a parent
Sunday, November 7, 2010

The teachers and admin are fantastic and really look out for the children.

The school itself is just a few years old and is one of the better schools in the area. They have plenty of heat in winter, and AC in summer.

The IEP program is top notch, IMHO as a parent of two in the program.

The MCAS scores are lacking, however they are improved since the 2009 school year. Close Quote
