It's really terrible. Which is a shame because the teachers truly care. Framingham has many family shelters and every homeless child in Framingham is sent to this elementary school as opposed to the others in Framingham. There are many children who have severe emotional problems, and/or have stayed back for several years due to homelessness. It is irresponsible of the school system to have all of the children who need special attention in one school when there are a half dozen elementary schools in Framingham. It's not fair to any of the children because they cannot get the attention they deserve. My 2 kids have gone here for 2.5 years. There have been at least 4 principals, and they currently don't have one at all. They have only gone on one field trip each. They come home stressed out from bullying and the teachers are very short tempered. Im glad we are moving this year.

As long term resident of Natick, I fully supported my daughter and my son in our public school system which they attended from K-12. Our schools have only improved over time, as one can learn by reviewing the ranking lists of Boston area High Schools. Both of my children excelled in the Natick Schools and were prepared to be accepted, and thrive in Ivy League colleges. They established strong friendships, joined the Speech Team, French Club and Tennis Teams. Now after graduation, they have wonderful connections to the Town and many friends that they stay in touch with from their High School days. There was something for all students at the school, and I found that the administration would allow and accept credit for advanced outside courses. Overall, the public schools in the Boston area are the best in the country. I feel that Natick High School is no acception.The parents, students and school system all have a hand in the students' education.

I thank God I was able to send my daughter to this wonderful school. We unfortunately had to move out of the area before she entered the 8th grade but it was the best learning experience she had
