"What makes my neighborhood special is when we decorate for Christmas and we do New Year’s or when we celebrate Easter"

"The traffic isn’t too bad but there’s a few spots that are very congested, too many cars parked on the road and homeless people constantly asking for money. Also the roads themselves are horrendous with a bunch of pot holes and should be fixed asap. "

"It may be around the housing projects but it isn’t that scary. Just have to be friendly. It’s close to a Market Basket. Has a public pool in the area as well. There are a couple of school around."

"Loud during the school year. College kids are ridiculous, have had property damaged and caught on camera. They have parties on weekends so it gets loud and busy at night in the area. "

"We do not have any block parties etc. We live right by U Mass Lowell and enjoy the activities of the students. Most of the housing is apartments.Lowell has many public events from a-z. Most people attend with their families. Lowell is a small but very cultured city. The park recreation music events are well attended. The city is beautiful in the winter with a wonderful display of holiday lights and events"

"Diverse neighborhood with many local shops for anything that’s needed. Center of a very beautiful downtown restoration. The library and city hall are convenient for all. Many fine reads and activities. Computers for research and tutors for all, the very young on up. Parks are just a few steps away. Many faiths gather around a church and other spiritual locations. U Mass Lowell puts it all together in this city neighborhood. Families are plentiful and always welcome."

"This neighborhood is pretty good for the most part. I’ve lived here for 17 years. Some new neighbors that moved in party an awful lot and I’m hoping that would simmer down since this neighborhood have always been quiet. However, I still would not let my children walk outside alone. "

"Nothing. The neighborhood has gotten worse. It’s overly crowded. People party like crazy. Streets are so dirty and small. Road sucks. A lot needs to be done. "

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have had 2 students at this school, one from pre-k to 8, the other k to 8. One on the autism spectrum. Both have done really well at this school. One is now in college, after graduating in the top ten in his high school class, which speaks well of how the Bartlett prepared him for high school. After an initial battle to get the one with autism special ed services, which was mostly an issue with the school department's central office, not the school staff, the school staff really stepped up with coming up with effective service plans. Good communication from the school to parents. I really have no complaints about the education my kids got here.Parent Review4y ago4 Reviews - Lowell Day Nursery School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy School is . AWESOME! I left early childhood for years until I kept hearing about this program. I was so impressed with their quality that I started teaching again here over 12 years ago. We have just received our re-accredidation from NAEYC for the 3rd time and we are so proud of that accomplishment. Our goal is to care for and educate children in a family friendly and affordable center that continuously strives to be better in everything we do. Some of our staff has been here for anywhere from 12 years ( like me) to 15, 20, 30, and 40 years!! That speaks volumes to the quality of a school where the staff is dedicated to every child in their care. We will see you soon ;)Teacher Review11y ago4 Reviews - Franco American School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThere is so much to say about why I love this school! The teachers are fabulous. They challenge these kids but are also very caring. Students are very well prepared for high school and beyond. The curriculum is always being updated - We have a brand new reading program, new technology, a relatively new math program, etc. Former FAS students are on the honor roll and dean's list at all sorts of area high schools and colleges. The school is still run by the Sisters of Charity, so there also is a wonderful emphasis on faith. There are lots of extracurricular opportunities for these kids, too - soccer, cross country, basketball, cheerleading, and track. There's also intramural basketball, kickball, and bowling for younger kids. My kids also participate in choir, the engineering club after school, violin, and piano. Students who qualify academically also have the opportunity to be in a leadership and service group in middle school called Beta Club. This school offers wonderful opportunities for the students to grow academically, spiritually, emotionally, and socially. We love it here!Parent Review10y ago17 Reviews - St Patrick School & Education Center
