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.

Excellent school, excellent and caring teachers and principle. I have one child who graduated in 2017 from SFSH and five more still in the school. Two of my boys have visual issues and the teachers figured out creative ways to help them study and learn. In fact many of the teachers read about their diagnosis to learn better ways to help my boys. Several teachers also volunteer their time before and after school to tutor any students who need extra help with a subject. THAT is the type of dedication these teachers have to our students. We absolutely love St. Francis-St. Hedwig School. Best parenting decision we ever made was enrolling our six kids at SFSH.
