Miller Middle School

We have been at Needham for 3 years. The teachers are excellent and the community is welcoming and supportive.

My son attended Park from 2nd grade to 5th grade, through COVID. Of course, in hindsight, I think everyone would approach those years of COVID differently now. But everyone did the best they could. My son fell behind during that period, but had caught up rather quickly with the help of everyone and the summer bridge program. I think that Park has excellent leadership in their VP and Principal, the teachers have been caring and kind, the support staff are truly exceptional and personable, always making me as a parent, feel heard. The emphasis on social emotional learning, is a huge plus, in this day and age. Academically, my son felt challenged, he received support when needed . The school has a welcoming community feel to it that parents and children really enjoy. Bullying and bad behavior were handled appropriately and with empathy. Diversity and equity were exemplified and discussed as part of the curriculum, something that made my son a better and more worldly person.We were very blessed to be a part of the Park community for four years. Thank you to all the dedicated teachers and staff that make Park a great place for children to learn and grow as human beings. You will be missed!

I've had 3 kids attend Riverview and all three had wonderful experiences. The teachers and administrators go above and beyond! Great academic support and great intervention when needed. PTO is strong and supportive as well. Wonderful community and school!

This institution feels like a school of smoke and mirrors. You go in wanting to believe in its purpose and reputation, but what you find instead is a system shaped by long-standing control, hierarchy, and self-interest.If you’re chasing status or a name on a résumé, it may serve that purpose. But if you’re looking for meaningful learning, be prepared for an outdated curriculum and a culture where perfection is valued more than genuine understanding or growth.Education here often feels less like a transfer of knowledge and more like an exercise in maintaining appearances.
