I would give the school five stars. My son is learning so much. Everyone there cares.

My experience with this school is very traumatic. My child arrived at Conte in the six grade. The staff changed my daughters IEP by conducting a PPT meeting without inviting me during this meeting they wiped out all of her special services that she has been receiving since birth to three. Fights break out daily. Special needs children are placed in regular classrooms due to the fact that they don’t have the staff to accommodate them. Black lives definitely don’t matter at Conte regardless who the principal is.

My two children are international students at this school and have achieved excellent progress here. The teachers are all professional and patient, with their ESL teachers delivering particularly high-quality instruction. We also benefit from the academic support offered by Yale student volunteers. Moreover, the school’s varied activities effectively promote students’ comprehensive abilities.

I've been at this school for 10+ years and these 10+ years have been the hardest years of my life just bc of how the school has treated me and how I was treated by students and staff which plays a huge part in my depression and anxiety. They don't truly care for the students until it gets noticeably bad and will let your grades and mental deteriorate without saying a word, they only mention grades when they're so bad and don't understand the circumstances or the reason you've let it get so bad. So for any parent reading, please save your kids the heartache of attending this school, if you want them to enjoy even an inkling of going to school don't make the decision of bringing them here.
