Esta escuela es maravillosa!!!!!! Aprender, se divierten, y comparte!

I did not want to like this school, it was certainly not our top choice. And I still don't like it, I LOVE it and so does my child. I had the choice to put my child back in the lottery for next year, but we are home at Harvard Kent. The principal is amazing. He's so clearly cares about the children and educators. He is engaging, transparent, responsive and only wants the very best for the school in general. Every teacher I meet is kind, caring and invested. I wish I went to a school like this when I was a child. I know Harvard Kent doesn't look that great on paper yet, but the reality of the school is beautiful.Just wait, they are going to be the number one school in Boston in no time.

I honestly didn't like this school, people are mean and the staff too, sometimes they went to far.

This is the worst i have ever experienced in a learning environement. They have allowed other kids to beat my daughter without giving her any support. If you are looking for a school for your kids to feel unsafe be my guest and let your kids go there.

Man I used to go to this school and it was so bad to me, I used to get bullied and punished with my bullies

Schools bullying policy is basically non existent, school sweeps alot under the rugs . Not best for children's mental health

This school is terrible.The student body has extreme behavior issues that prevent most teaching and learning from happening. In classrooms you will see kids throwing things and screaming, and ignoring staff. Students are mean to each other and disrespectful to adults. Academic performance is very low - only 5-10% of students are at grade level.There are no real consequences for student misbehavior or academic failure. Safety is a serious concern. There are constant student fights, property damage, and acts of violence against other students and staff. Used needles are regularly found on school grounds (staff does their best to mitigate this, but it is still extremely unsafe). I recommend that parents send their children elsewhere.

So far so good this is my daughter’s first year she’s in 3rd grade, she currently has a 504 plan and we are working on getting her an IEP. We Have all good things to say about this school I look forward to the rest of my daughter’s years here.

There is a new principal this year named Dr. Odom who is working so hard to change the school for the better.

Some teachers are wonderful. It is NOT a school for high needs children although it says it is. Children do not receive the correct pull-outs for therapy according to their IEP's and the school is very hard to work with. I have had children on IEP's; this school outright lies through their director of SPED. They do not follow laws or regulations and my child is caught in the middle. His academics are well below average and they are telling me he's doing fine. No, he isn't. So if your child has any special needs, be forewarned.
