worst school ever. If your child has no problem learning you are lucky. If your child has a problem Somerville does not recognize it. we had my grand daughter test last year to see where she should be placed in school. The year same problems we went to the school. They said we did not know she required special help. we can have her retested and if she isn't doing well we can hold her back she has been held back 3 time now she failed KG she makes F D cry's because she has to go to school. the teacher did not realize she has a problem. Sad for the children
