School Reviews

There should be a SAFE environment for children to learn. With the current death of Phoebe Prince, there should have been more programs and awareness of the cause of bullying. If this action would have taken place, Phoebe Prince could still be alive, living her normal teenage years. Because this action was not taken, this administration is highly expected to inform all students of the consequences of bullying. I expect as a average student, to be safe in my school, but if other peers should chose to behave in such a manner then I choose to not partake in this administration. And hope for the consequences to be brought down on those who chose to pursue such actions upon Phoebe Prince.

Does not provide a safe learning environment for its students. Administrators of the School and School District as well as some School Committee members are self serving lackeys who are now staging cover ups to protect their own interests.
