The teachers at this school are on a power trip, they constantly find ways to undermine and yell at students when the students are doing nothing wrong. Acedemically, the students might as well be at a zoo. While some teachers are very kind, most use minimal effort and little to no work is done during the day to day. This school brings kids to an all-time low mentally, and provides zero support and cares more about their statistics and how they look to the naked eye than their own students.

If you are white and rich and gifted, then maybe you’ll like it here. If you’re diverse, middle to lower income, and special ed, then not so much. My kid is in the special needs program - and I have not been impressed. They are so lax with my child just because of the learning disabilities - but it means my child is not advancing or learning more. My child does better on work at home with me than at school. School is more just a playground. And my child has minor special needs only - just learning disabilities. But otherwise is normal socially, But still is ostracized by the other kids. In years my kid is barely included in invites or birthday parties. And the EG moms. Whoa! SO STUCK UP. At one of the birthday parties I literally had a few turn their shoulders to me when I walked up to say hi. Why? Well I’d never met them before - so who knows. Is it because our skin is darker? Or English isn't our first language? Or because we are not rich? Beats me. But the message has always been clear : if you are not white and rich, you’re not welcome. For the social well-being of my kids we are planning to move to another district. I cannot recommend this school.

I had 2 children go through Meadowbrook, one who needed support - which he received without issue. We loved Meadowbrook and the faculty and the energy in the school.

5 stars, of course! We loved Hanaford.
