3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThey are limiting student freedom on many things. Students are now no longer able to create bathroom passes and cannot even use an educational app on their given Chromebooks. The bullying also has been getting out of hand, especially for students who need extra help. Lunches look and taste as if they were made by the worst cooks in the country that would make Gordon Ramsay not even step into that lunch room. The only good things at that school are a few teachers. But favoritism is clear among the administration. Most of the money and grants given to the school is always towards their sport team, especially football team that still never win a single win. The bathrooms clearly need to be fixed due to seeing duck tape on a lock once in a bathroom and the vaping problem is out of hand.Student Review5mo ago - Western Coventry School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy child started 6th grade here and so far I am not pleased with this school at all. My children broke her ankle and was wearing a cast up to her thigh. She got a letter from her doctor to give to the school asking she get a buddy to help her with her backpack books and so on and that she be given a couple xtra minutes to get to class as she is in crutches. The school literally told my child she is very capable of handling her own books and backpack on her own. That she does not need help and that 3 or 4 minutes is more than enough time to make it to class like anyone else. There will be no extra minute or two and if she is late she will be written up. My child coming home with red raw underarms hurting day after day. This is just ridiculousParent Review7mo ago
