N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageDate: July 2023. We absolutely love Baldwin! My 4 year old reads, and it began with Phonics at school at age 3. They use fun activities like preparing a huge birthday card to encourage writing, reading and drawing. Social emotional development, learning through play, varied fun crafts and activities, fun and informational themes for each week and so many fun events throughout the year to involve families. The principal and staff really care about the students. Safe drop off and safe pick up. My kid loves school and looks forward to it. Teachers also recognize different paces or stages of development and learning and pace the teaching as per the child's stage. Scribbling or pretend writing is also encouraged as a step towards writing. Communication with teachers is easy and transparent. Date: July 2023Parent Review8mo ago - Blackstone Elementary School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe level of learning at this school is amazing. Students are pushed to be their best academically. There are also so many opportunities available for students that give them experiences no other school offers. My only complaint is that I wish they did more typical high school events like homecoming dance and events to get families and students together outside of the classroom.Parent Review9mo ago - O'bryant School Math/Science

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI went to this school when I was living in South Boston. I experienced a lot of discrimination and looking back I am still affected by it. I still remember I kept raising my hand so I can go to the bathroom but the teacher ignored me until I peed in my pants. What kind of teachers would do that to a kid? They also kept me back in kindergarten saying I have a learning disability when it was because I was shy to speak up. There was a teacher that forced me to put my crayons away because I wasn't sharing them. If you love your kids, don't let them go to this school. If you want to witness the existence of racism and traumatize your kids, let them go to this school.Parent Review2y ago - James P Timilty Middle School

Dudo que mis hijos puedan sentirse en otra escuela como lo hicieron en esa, mucha dedicación, mucho amor por lo que hacen y sobre todo la responsabilidad académica que tienen.

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe Tynan is an amazing school with dedicated teachers and faculty. It is diverse, ethnically and economically, which is a huge strength for the kids as they play and learn together. The teachers are of the highest caliber and the student to teacher ratio is low. Low test scores can almost certainly be attributable to children who are learning English and/ or those who have learning disabilities. And I am so glad my children are learning alongside them.Parent Review2y ago - Josiah Quincy Elementary School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have a young child at Lower and we love it. The teachers are caring across the board. We get daily reports on progress with our child. She's been going through toddler phases and I feel like she's in such good hands. Its a small school so everyone knows each other. I love the sense of community. What I love most is the open communication. It is very easy to receive updates on the happenings at the school. It feels like a small community. I'm happy with it across the board. Each class has a air purifier, for COVID. There is PPE and I feel like they are keeping the school sanitary as well. Overall, its a great school. You will like it for your child. My child is young so some of the reviews like Homework, I'm neutral. We haven't had an experiences with bullying. May of the admin are at Upper. The schools present as different worlds-- because very little kids and older kids. The Leadership at Lower is amazing as is the staff.Parent Review2y ago - Dever Elementary School

She had an amazing 1st grade teacher and a wonderful pandemic 2nd grade teacher. The school supported us during the pandemic and the principal, Mr Rockoff brought a labtop to my home for my daughter to ensure she is connected we. She really thrived at EP and I have no regrets whatsoever. Her day starts early at 7:20 am and ends about 4:30. She is doing excellent in her new school and EP helped her. I would highly recommend EP and my son is on the waitlistParent Review2y ago - East Boston Early Childhood Center

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is a great school with teachers that want to see their students excel and succeed, very loving and caring staff, and at the moment the community is being built, but I do have safety concerns a lot of smoking in the bathrooms a lot of violence, not as much but violence every so often but the staff do a great job at ensuring the safety in the classroom. That’s all they can really do. The hallways are chaotic, and some of the students don’t have respect for the teachers or Piers overall it’s a great school. Learning aspect is great. The teacher do a great job of teaching. But due to how chaotic some classrooms can get some students fail to learn, or it gets distracted easily so that takes away from the overall learning experience when in the classroom. I’m not all that familiar with the special education system but it is a family friendly school in the counselors, do a good job of doing their job. A lot of teachers know how to communicate with their kids, the social and emotional support is there 100%Student Review1y ago - Higginson

"Back Bay is a nice area. I really only recognize my neighbors by their dogs, because we often exchange dog names before we get to the level of actually meeting each other. Commonwealth Ave Mall is a great place to walk dogs or people watch. I live right next to Newbury Street, which can be super crowded with tourists in the summer. It’s a safe area but I have seen some shady drug deals going on occasionally. This is a city. So you’ll have that. Rent keeps going up and the neighborhood keeps feeling more like a shopping mall. The biggest win for me is the close proximity to the esplanade. "
