Long Hill

I graduated from here in 2018. From my memory, the teachers and administrative staff had absolutely zero idea how to handle neurodiverse students. That is a problem seeing as I am autistic. I honestly believe their only disability training was watching Rain Man. The principal seemed to have genuine personal issues with me and other 10 year olds. I would hope they’d have improved since. 2018, but with the general problems I listed, I doubt it.

My son has been attending this school since Kindergarten, and he is now in 5th grade. This school has definitely gotten better since the new Principal, Hannah Sam. We get a newsletter every Sunday night keeping us informed of what's happening for that week or upcoming events/activities via Parent Square, something that previous principal never did and we were always informed the day of or day before. The school does not tolerate bullying and will notify the parents immediately if something is happening with your child and another student. My son has ADHD, so he is easily distracted and teachers are always looking for ways to keep him focus or will send him to walk something to the office to calm him. Also, I like that this school is very diverse.

When I was in this school back then there was nothing but drama and fights. Teachers are nice but they won’t believe you at ALL. When my stuff was getting stolen I knew who it was and I told the teacher but didn’t believe me and I never got it back again. I didn’t learn nothing there until 6th grade. Even a poor girl a few years ago got her head kinda bashed on the brick walls.

This is the WORST school out of Waterbury Connecticut. All there is is nothing but bullying and drama. When I got my stuff stolen back then when I was in this school I told the teacher cause I knew who stole my stuff but soon enough the teacher doesn’t believe me and doesn’t do NOTHING
