Pretty decent school did not have any negative experiences during my time here :D

My child began at Mathews during the pandemic. The staff, teachers and administration have dealt with the challenges of this period with aplomb, grit, organization and warmth. I am in awe of them. I am so grateful to Principal Martino-Brewster for her calm, positivity and wisdom. My child has had a loving and trusting relationship with their specials teachers as well as their primary teachers. Like so many schools in the USA, Mathews struggles to equitably serve its disadvantaged students. Mathews parents generally have a long way to go in becoming anti-racist, anti-classist parents and teaching their children to be anti-racist and anti-classist. On the whole, however, I am proud of this school community and feel lucky that my family can be a part of this environment.

My son was bullied so badly that we left the school. The counselor and assistant principal were supportive, but nothing was ever done. Never heard one word from the principal, even though things got pretty serious. It broke my heart to see him in such emotional pain and the damage it has done. I feel for every child who is bullied because it is something they have to deal with long after the actually bullying has stopped.
