I am really surprised by the negative reviews below. I can't help but wonder if the last one was written out of anger over the changing elementary school start times. While it is not true that the school does not have a second emergency access road (it does) and not true that children can't talk to each other at lunch (they can) I am most surprised by the categorization of the school leadership. I have never met a more phenomenal principal, and between my kids and multiple moves we have been at seven elementary schools. I have experienced nothing but warmth and a true dedication to educating all children inclusively.

As long term resident of Natick, I fully supported my daughter and my son in our public school system which they attended from K-12. Our schools have only improved over time, as one can learn by reviewing the ranking lists of Boston area High Schools. Both of my children excelled in the Natick Schools and were prepared to be accepted, and thrive in Ivy League colleges. They established strong friendships, joined the Speech Team, French Club and Tennis Teams. Now after graduation, they have wonderful connections to the Town and many friends that they stay in touch with from their High School days. There was something for all students at the school, and I found that the administration would allow and accept credit for advanced outside courses. Overall, the public schools in the Boston area are the best in the country. I feel that Natick High School is no acception.The parents, students and school system all have a hand in the students' education.

As we enter our 11th year, we at Tobin continue with our commitment to providing a rich, robust curriculum within our small, welcoming, learning community! I'd love to tell you more about our programs and offerings! Feel free to be in touch so we can arrange a visit.

We've had children at Riverbend for many years, and it's been the single best choice we've made as parents. What Riverbend gets right is its emphasis on relationships, meaningful academics, and authentic responsibility. The multi-age classroom model is key to this — older children mentor younger ones, and younger children have models to emulate. Teachers loop with students across multiple years, so they develop a depth of understanding about each child that's hard to find at other schools. When I watch my kids lead assemblies, organize service projects, attend Model UN, or spend a full year on a self-chosen research project, I see how agency and curiosity result in deep learning.I'm also grateful for the administration at Riverbend — they have their pulse on the needs of children, and they are strategically positioning this school for the future. This school is a gem!
