School Reviews

We are new to this school and it's district. They have made it a wonderful transition from our old school to this one. The counselors have been fantastic and I love how my kids will have the same one for every year they are here instead of it switching year-to-year BC they get to have a bond and really know my child and all of their hopes for the future so they can help them achieve it. My children love their teachers, much more than the beloved Dorchester 2 district (supposedly the holy grail... don't believe the hype). These teachers here have been wonderful and very concerned for my kid's education. School is clean and welcoming. I only wished they would get a new school since this one is old and outdated. There's a new elementary school coming... middle school is newer... it's time for the high school to be new!
