My experience at Mattie Washburn has been wonderful. This is our fourth year at the school and I honestly feel extremely lucky that my children have had this staff to care and educate them for their young years.

This school by far is the worst educational experience I’ve ever hear of or experienced in my life. My son went to school here, for far too long. Every single teacher I met were rude, impatient, condescending, and didn’t care in the slightest about actually helping my son succeed. When my son was having trouble learning, rather than helping and encouraging. They battered and belittled him. If that wasn’t bad enough, they blamed my son’s learning disabilities on us the parents!!! When they are the teachers being paid to teach. The teachers were so awful to my son that I was forced to transfer him to a different school. And thank God I did. He is now going to a school with teachers who actually care about their students. I wouldn’t recommend this school to my worst enemy! I really hope these teachers turn things around, because no child deserves to be treated like this. Not now, not ever!

This is our first year at Brooks and we are so impressed. The school only has 3rd, 4th and 5th graders on campus which has huge benefits for this age group socially and academically - everything is geared toward the needs and interests of 8 to 11 year-olds; the principal and teachers encourage student-led projects and initiatives in class and around campus. The new 4th/5th grade building and brand new library are impressive. The principal just started humanitarian assemblies, recognizing and rewarding kids that are kind, helpful and exhibit important character traits that will help them be successful in Middle School and beyond. PE, gardening, computers, music class and art are all thriving programs at this school. It's an overall solid community and we are proud to be a part of it!
