Laurel Ledge School

Poor. I moved from a big house in Naugatuck to a small house in Fairfield to make sure my daughter gets a better education with better teachers.

I liked this school, it was fire with my homies

The principal and teachers/staff provide structure for the students, but are the students acknowledge. What brings us to question and just amazes us as a parent(s) is minority students/students are not acknowledge.This review is in behalf parents whom have students whom give there all and are not acknowledge regardless of being a A/B student. My family and I was extremely shocked when our child and other parents discuss to us of their children that attend Hillside the ignorant rewards given to their children.Other parents and us were just extremely baffled in rewards like humming in class, etc... and a chocolate bar to go along with that award. Our child was sadden with no acknowledgement of being a A/B student. Our child informed that he does not hmmm in class that it was the student behind him.Other students whom are A/B students as well received ignorant rewards as well. Are the teachers aware of their students? Are they open minded to grasp and acknowledge students whom already have potential and/or can reach for more? Is it only based on behavior or "she/he said?" Are the students just being judged without being given the opportunity of seeing the students potential.In this new coming year of 2015-2016, will Hillside provide a newer advance structure curriculum? Will students be acknowledge or just misjudge?We have comfort with Hillside to a certain extent but we question will there be more positive changes. Hillside...we are still rooting for you...please make changes...

The oldest comment on this list can't be further from the truth. I have had one child go through this school several years ago, and currently have another child in this school. While it is indeed an old building, the staff of this school could not possibly be more supportive of their students, or more caring. The teachers go well above and beyond their responsibilities with clubs like "Book Talk", etc. The principal takes ALL concerns very seriously, and I could not be more pleased with her. My older son had some social adjustment difficulties when he was younger, and he received all of the assistance necessary to become a well adjusted young man, who was a high honors student athlete throughout middle school and high school. I directly attribute his success to the principal and staff of Sale3m School. My child who is currently in Salem is given many challenges beyond the classroom, in order to help develop his individual talents. Great school.
