Putnam Middle School

We moved last summer to Putnam from suburb out of Boston,Massachusetts. Prior school district my son had attended was highly rated and ranked in top school districts of Massachusetts . My son does have an IEP and initially I was discouraged reading about the low rating for Putnam schools. However, I am so glad that we did move to Putnam and give the schools a chance. The smaller class sizes allows the children to develop relationships with educators and opportunities for students to recieve individualized learning and support. My son began to learn and excel academically for the first time ever! He even made honor roll for the first time! My son cared about his assignments and maintaining his grades which was also a first. The special educator who supported my son is amazing and goes above and beyond for all the students she works with. It is going to be difficult to leave these amazing teachers behind because they understood my son and also encouraged, challenged, and nurtured him. My son has dyslexia and at the beginning of school year was reading several grades below. By the end of his year he was beginning t read at grade level. The school really tries to rally around the students and keeps them motivated. Just wanted to share my sons experience as an 8th grade student

This a cool is the worst Imaginable. The teachers are horrible and the food is not edible. Most kids that come here leave depressed. Would not recommend to any kid.

We have had no issues at all with this school. It is my daughters first year, but it has been great and the teachers have been supportive. If she ever needs anything extra, they are willing to stay and help out.
