After five years in another country (stuck bc of COVID), we moved back to the US, but this time in Mass. Hamilton and even the Weymouth school district did a great job in placing my two boys. The teachers and staff were great at recognizing the boys were trying to figure out the cultural changes. They gave the necessary help so the boys could adjust. Although it was painful to sometimes hear from the boys that they had "bullies", I think the teachers did a good job in addressing the issue and bringing it up with the other students.

I am a current student in this school and I do not recommend it at all. First off They give us lunch like we are prisoners, I have eaten unhealthy food for the past 3 months. I understand the school will say “oh well it’s free and you can bring your own”… number one I should not have to bring my own I am forced to be here every weekday, and some people can’t afford to bring lunch? So are you saying kids of the lesser benefit don’t deserve a healthy meal? They also don’t teach us anything useful other than maybe math. The teachers are oddly political and it is creepy. I constantly have rainbow flags in my face, listen I don’t care what you are but stop shoving it in my face because I don’t care. There was a unified game day on Friday and a class got told that bringing in an AMERICAN FLAG is inappropriate. This school focuses more about inclusion than anything, my science class has so many people in it we don’t have enough chairs. Yet it’s the last term and nobody has done anything about it? This school is geto and unsafe and I recommend switching to a better school.

Abigail Adams Elementary School has truly exceeded my expectations as a parent. With the recent investments from the mayor into local education, the school has seen some fantastic updates that make it stand out—far better than what you'll read in those outdated reviews from years ago. My child has thrived in the challenging academic environment, where teachers go above and beyond with after-school tutoring and tips on study habits and test-taking strategies. They're incredibly responsive to emails and calls, making communication a breeze.What really sets this school apart is its strong sense of community. The dedicated parent council organizes free enrichment courses and a variety of extracurriculars, like band, sports, clubs, and even the unforgettable Camp Burgess trip for fifth graders. There's also an excellent before- and after-school program, including a running club that promotes healthy, happy kids. Class sizes are small, allowing teachers to really get to know each student, and the new principal brings fresh ideas with supportive leadership. The staff is friendly and attentive—the school nurse is particularly caring and knowledgeable, and everyone seems to know the kids by name.We've loved the opportunities for involvement without any pressure, and seeing my first-grader excel in such a nurturing, family-oriented setting has been rewarding. If you're looking for a city school with all the amenities and programs that make a real difference, Abigail Adams is a gem. Highly recommend!
