Breakthrough is an awesome community school that is full of students from a variety of cultures. Each student learning needs are met and adapted to how they learn. We love Breakthrough and travel from Bristol to go to this special school.
Posted by a parent on 6/21/2014We had an awful experience at Breakthrough. My son was bullied since the beginning of the school year and the problem was never solved. I left several messages to the director and social worker with no answer. The only time they returned my calls, was when my son missed school for a few days for a f
Posted by a parent on 3/12/2013I have been a staff member at Breakthrough for 6 years, and my 8-year-old twins have attended since they were 3. As our fearless leader, Mrs. Norma Neumann-Johnson says, Breakthrough is "nirvana." Working at this school is a dream, and my children are getting an amazing, enriching, multicultural edu
Posted by a teacher on 2/3/2013I was a former student from Breakthrough, back when it was Breakthrough Charter School...it was truly a second home to me. Through highschool and college I never had teachers so dedicated to their students as the ones I had at Breakthrough. I was part of the first 8th grade class to graduate in 2002

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school has a new principal and lord do we miss our previous principal. There is a complete disregard for the emotional support and understanding of lack of diversity. My child has been made fun of because of the color of his skin..and nothing was done. As a matter of fact the principal and staff told us they should’ve known the moment it was said so it is “believe-able.” Then the moment apparently my son retaliates after a secondary situation, they wanted him to write an apology letter to the student. This principal has her favorites and from my understanding came into this situation in over her head. I hope she can settle into her role with a lot more grace and better resolve for every student and not just the ones she labels as a “problem child.” Keeping students in the office or away from their classroom to do their work for no realistic reason is not proper resolve, investigating students without proper knowledge given to parents is NOT ok. You as the principal are then coming to your own conclusion based on what you see in your face and communicating or as I’ve noticed, interviewing students with questions in your favor to create your own narrative rather than the actuality of what that student is going through. It is not their place to judge but rather to uplift their students progress into becoming their best-self! I hope this school can do better in their upcoming years. I really do.Parent Review2y ago - Smith School

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school has ABSOLUTELY no security. I was there for 2 days. Walking in. Roaming around. Talk to security & pricinable. I was in a classroom HANDLING children. Nobody asked me for my I.D. I didn't even get welcomed by anyone. Teachers telling me how to get in the building. Craziness with everything going on in the world. I called the appropriate sorces, but a cheek was turned.Other Review1y ago - Expeditionary Learning Academy At Moylan School
