My daughter has completed the first half of fourth grade, and we've been impressed with the principal, her homeroom teacher, teacher specialists, and the beautiful school facility itself. Field Elementary has some of the highest math scores in the state, and we particularly like the emphasis on social- emotional learning, which leverages the Responsive Classroom approach. The engagement of parents, in support of the teachers, is extremely strong.

Weston is amazing. They give so many resources to students. Not only that, there are a lot of after-school activities you can do, and they also offer transportation till 5:30. For example, there is a swimming pool at the Weston Middle School where the Weston swim teams train in every week

Our kids have had an extremely positive experience at Country. We love the teachers and the principal.

This school keeps declining due to a SC that continues to be comprised of parents who only want to please school administration. The relationship between the school committee and the superintendent is troubling, to say the least. The superintendent is completely uninterested in doing what is best for the students and Only rains to do what is easiest for her and for the teachers. She was unqualified and hastily appointed when no other candidates accepted the job. Think twice before moving here for the school system. Things look good on the surface but all parents here have their children individually tutored and/or send them to enrichment classes to keep them up to speed. It’s a town and a school system with a lot of money but not a lot of academic rigor. Simply look at some of the department heads and how pedestrian they are. It seems if you have enough years as a teacher you automatically get promoted and are responsible for running a department ( with no experience!) and making important decisions that negatively impact the student community. There are many good school systems out there: Wellesley, Newton, Brookline and Wayland to name a few. Do your research. Don’t bother talking to school committee members because they will just feed you some tired, prepared line. Look very closely at the test scores. Weston falls short.

Great school with supportive teachers and parents.
