This school is honestly terrible. Me and my friends got in trouble for something that we didn’t even do and then were forced to apologize. We went and apologized (literally for no reason) and the teacher was so incredibly rude and disrespectful and simply just ignored us. I think that it’s ridiculous how teachers expect us to sit all day and are rude to us in return simply because they don’t like their job. The bullying in this school is terrible. Kids get bullied and then they get away with it because the teachers have favorites. Often, the victims get blamed for these things that happen. This school is terrible and from a student perspective, I would not send my kid here and neither should you.

Overall a good school however I did have a few problems with bullying and felt unheard by a couple of the teachers there. However I graduated over 6 years ago so maybe that aspect has improved.

There is not enough resources for kids with special needs and the teachers don’t seem to be prepared enough either. My child had two teachers leave mid school year that were special educators, my child has been secluded in class, my child has been misunderstood. When I moved to this town, they had the best ratings, now looking 3 years later, their rating has dropped to average and no one has even given a rating for special education. They need more diversity and need to practice inclusion. My son is not getting all the help he can get and forget about looking for child care during the summer for autistic children in the area, there is none. You better plan on hiring a baby sitter or getting a family member to watch your child. And whatever you do, do not take your special needs child to NEST daycare located in Middlebury. They are the absolute worst. Call them and tell them your child is special needs and see what they say for yourself.
