I believe that Memorial Middle School is an exceptional school and deserves more than it gets credit for. The teachers are spectacular and their patience towards students is incredible.

I understand Academics are important but so is emotional well being. A no-tolerance policy for bullying and physical harm does not exist. There are many reasons this school has bad nicknames. Some care about our kids. Some are there for a paycheck. Most average kids receive nothing extra. They do great because they came in being good kids. Can’t not recommend as there is no other choice.

There is not enough resources for kids with special needs and the teachers don’t seem to be prepared enough either. My child had two teachers leave mid school year that were special educators, my child has been secluded in class, my child has been misunderstood. When I moved to this town, they had the best ratings, now looking 3 years later, their rating has dropped to average and no one has even given a rating for special education. They need more diversity and need to practice inclusion. My son is not getting all the help he can get and forget about looking for child care during the summer for autistic children in the area, there is none. You better plan on hiring a baby sitter or getting a family member to watch your child. And whatever you do, do not take your special needs child to NEST daycare located in Middlebury. They are the absolute worst. Call them and tell them your child is special needs and see what they say for yourself.
