My child has gone to this school for three years, So far every year there has been issues. Now of course I understand that issues will happen however nothing changes it just seems to get worse as the time goes on. my child's reading skills are no where close to where they need to be, math which was truly a favorite has turned into a subject of dread. A positive is the music department my child loves the teacher and the class, also the school has AC and is very clean (it is the newest school in the district). Some of the staff is wonderful, others are just plain awful, there is no gray/in between when it comes to this place. The Nurse is amazing, and the front desk ladies, but that is were it stops when it comes to the front office staff that includes the principle. Most of the teachers look like they should work for the DMV they are so "thrilled" to be there. again as I said there are some wonderful people in that building but not enough to make it a place that makes my child feel heard, seen, respected, or safe. It saddens me to say I know what I have to do as a parent and that is to find a different school for my child, to show that beautiful child that learning and people can be fun, caring and exciting! I went to this school as a child, back when it did not have walls, My third grade teacher was the woman who changed my life and showed me that school and learning did not just have to be one way, she helped shape me into who I am today. I thought this school would do the same for my child, it has done the complete opposite.

not a safe environment for any kid lots of drugs in that school and needs to be shutdown

I'm a current student at this school and it has NOT been fun. First off, I would like to make a point that during the winter our heaters barely work at all, and in the summer none of the classes have AC. Kids have passed out in hallways, 20 kids have been to the nurse for ice to keep cool, and many kids had so much heat exhaustion that they couldn't even carry their pencil to write. Other than that, the school is still horrible. Bullying issues, calling each other names, kids getting into fights, you're being completely unfair to students and favoriting, I could go on and on forever. The school's not safe at all especially not when it comes to physical fights and bullying. No teachers care to look out for students mental needs or what's going on around them all they do is try to teach the bare minimum (which most teachers cannot even manage). There is no responsibility when it comes to looking after the kids whatsoever and not to mention the favoritism with these teachers. Everybody knows that in the state of New Hampshire, phones during school hours are prohibited and the teachers will take your phone and put it in the office if you have it, so we thought. I've seen at least four or five students this year that have behavioral problems have their phones out and walk around the school but if a good kid that gets good grades even so has their phone and their locker and is texting for a very important reason, you will get yelled at and possibly suspended. I'm so sick sick of these teachers not taking in students reviews and feedback because clearly the school needs it badly. There's so many students that don't follow the rules and the teachers have just given up with most of them. Also, there's a problem with kids using AI because the teachers show them that it's okay. None of the teachers check for AI anymore and they never even care because all they do is want to get their minimum wage check. I do not recommend this school at all, all they do is try to take your money and not even put it to a good cause (like fixing the molded ceilings that are falling down as we speak).
