5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a former student of this school, I can say that this was not the best experience ever. In fact, it was the longest 4 years of my life, and very miserable. Early on, they said some kind of thing that I had a disability of some sort, which I did not. I was just a five year old, like goddam. Then I had to see a special teacher, and my kindergarten teacher said that I was very hard and there was something wrong with me. That's what a lot of the school staff thought about me. Legit almost got sent to a special school. And 4th grade was the WORST. Another thing is that girls never got in as much trouble as boys. But isn't that at all schools anyways? Overall, I would not recommend this school if your child is a bit difficult sometimes, as the school will single them out and mark them as a special needs kid. P. S. Although a lot of this review is negative, I have had some fond memories of the place.Other Review2y ago - Chocksett Middle School
