Joseph Melillo Middle School

My child has a new disability and nobody cared. The staff sort of knew, but never set up any meeting with teachers. Six fights in year! The students rule the teachers! Would not recommend honestly.

My children have had a great experience at FAME. We value that the school offers bilingual / biliterate teaching in English and Spanish starting in kindergarten. This past year they added Arabic for upper grades. The teachers are supportive and effective. There is a weekly event for parents to meet at the school called “Good Morning FAME.”

Hay profesores que te pegan amenazan y te molestan.

I’m a current student at Nathan Hale school in 7th grade. I joined the school in 5th grade, before that I was attending a catholic school in Branford. I had a few bad experiences at my old school which led to me switching here. In my past three years of being at this school, I’ve not learned a single new piece of information that I have not learned. In all I would not recommend unless your child is severely behind and wants to stay behind.

I have worked here as a substitute since September. It is a wonderfully supportive environment to work and learn. The students LOVE school. After spending a majority of their day there, upon their parents arrival they still ask to stay a bit longer. In response to the comment that warned of the dangerous neighborhood, I have never felt unsafe going to school. The location of Cold Spring is a lesson in embracing our surrounding culture rather than fearing it.
