1/5 Stars – Frustrating and Chaotic EnvironmentWould I recommend this school? No.Administration & Communication: Communication from leadership is virtually nonexistent until an issue escalates out of hand. Phone calls go straight to voicemail, emails go unanswered for days, and there is zero account
Posted by a community member on 7/23/2026This school is promoting lbgt outside on the pavement with trans colors for kids that aren't even 18! They are young children and they are trying to push that on kids right outside of this school! What a bunch of sick people in this school and the town leaders should be ashamed of them selves.
Posted by a community member on 10/5/2025Terrible school with terrible administration. They don't care about the children's growth or the fact puberty is a natural process. School should be shut down. All schools should be shut down. What's the point of having remote technology but not using it?
Posted by a parent on 10/13/2021If your thinking about sending your child here I urge you to find an alternative. Especially if your child has special needs. Don’t expect them to do anything to educate your child in academics. They will offer no special services and the district will never consider an outplacement even if your chi

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school used to let parents help out on firld day, but not anymore. N prepared to ask for an IEE if you want your child tested. They will try to push it off as long as possible. Theres basically no whole school behavior incentive. There needs to be a veteran principal to replace this guy.Other Review1y ago - A. C. E. S.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTerrible school and district! Hamden condones bullying. My child has come home with marks and bumps on his head in Kindergarten. Nothing was done and my transfer request to another school was denied by the Superintendent without any conversation. When I tried to follow up after my child had a knot on his forehead he blocked my email address. When i contacted the board of education, they said the decision is made by the Superintendent. Trash district! Do not send your kid here!Parent Review1y ago - Dunbar Hill School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSaint Rita school isn’t the place to be!! The I emailed them about my child being bullied in school and nothing was done about it. The only thing this school cares about is money don’t waste your money on this school. The children there are so disrespectful and you have to pay for EVERYTHING. Don’t waste your time child’s and money on this school!!Other Review7mo ago - St. Stephen School
