Paper Mill Village

Wonderful teachers, wonderful principal. Very positive learning environment for the children. I am so impressed with what this school has to offer.

this school was terrible my son was there for kindergarten and was getting beaten up on the playground where no teacher seemed to be able to see what was going on. He told me they were all sitting around talking during recess. he was scared to go to school and would come home crying and not even know why he was crying. He was stressed out and I had talks and emails with his teacher and the principal and nothing was really being solved so we took him out of this school.

When I was there one of the teachers made me cry and didn’t say sorry or I didn’t mean to make you cry They only “apologized” after I told someone they made 3 other kids cry that year. One of the teachers yelled at me when I didn’t hold the door for someone the person wasn’t disabled it was I wasn’t being a gentlemen I was in the 3rd grade. One of the kids didn’t do any work and was fine one kid slept the most classes and was ok. My friend was bullied for crying, the teacher didn’t do much. They banned a game for having a “bad” name. This was the 4th grade we would get in trouble for playing. My 2nd grade teacher threw a chair and broke a plastic bin they scared me and my friends at the table. There are good things like natures classroom and some field trips and going outside and the museum right by the school but that gets boring and repetitive. Some teachers are nice and that does help. There are fun trips that we went on . That’s all

The Village School of North Bennington provides students with an outstanding educational experience. It is a high-performing elementary school that offers a well-rounded experience with enrichment programs in Art, Library, Music, Nature, Physical Education, and more. There is a focus on students' health and wellness, as well as social-emotional learning. Students benefit from a variety of field trips each year to locations close to home and further afield. This is an excellent community-based school with a warm, nurturing, safe, and positive environment. The teachers and staff are kind, caring professionals who go above and beyond to support students and families. My two children attended from Pre-K through Sixth Grade, and I highly recommend the Village School of North Bennington.
