This is one of the best school in Norwich !

I am the parent of a recent graduate (within the past 5 years) and the parent of a child just beginning their school journey. My older child came to Sayles from another local school district that has a much higher Great Schools rating than Sayles but that didn't stop the bullying from anyone within that school system. When I say anyone I mean other students, teachers, administrators. Let me be clear there were very caring teachers there but they weren't enough to overcome the PTSD that my student developed while there. We moved to Sprague, enrolled at Sayles and my child's special educational needs were handled very well and my child flourished in, what I consider to be, a more intimate school setting with small classes. Special education accommodations are no longer needed at the high school level and my child is now an honor student going into senior year. Now I have a younger child in the Sayles school system and so far I have seen the same thing. I have a positive working relationship the administration and all the staff in the school. Overall I am VERY happy with the Sayles school system. They do a great job with the hand they are dealt (budget-wise). It takes more than just great teachers for children to flourish parents have to step up as well.

I am a parent of two children - one is currently a 9th grader at NFA and the other is still a student with LCS (7th grade). We actually moved to Lisbon because of the positive comments regarding LCS when my oldest was in Pre-K. I can not say enough positive things about LCS. They have always been wonderful to my children, the teachers are very active with the kids and my oldest was prepared for his 9th grade year at NFA. LCS has a family atmosphere and since they are a small school the teachers and staff become very familiar with your children. All I can say is they are wonderful....and I appreciate all of the teachers and staff that have teached and coached my children from there - THANK YOU LCS!!!

Sacred Heart is Home. As a graduate of the school and a member of the parish I can assure you Sacred Heart is challenging and your children will learn so much. I have just left the school and they prepared me so well for the future. They taught me great values and the morals they taught me are forever part of me. Everyone knows one another, you have a close relationship with all your classmates and teachers will help their students until every child has achieved greatness. We all care about one another and in times of hardship the school is there to support it's united family. The teachers don't tell you God's message, but show you how to live it by being examples everyday. As a student there, I was asked to challenge myself and work hard. Sacred Heart will always have a special place in my heart and the people there are unlike any. They really care. Thank you and God Bless You.
