Mary G. Fritz Elementary School of Yalesville

I do not recommend this school. Most school keeps there students safe but this school acts like it is but the teachers are actually hurting the kids. There is this behavior program in this school called the wise program for people with special needs and they have horrible teachers there teachers that get physical with the student just because the student got up from the seat. They say they will help you to something called they apr room instead they shove you. Example a student gets up from there seat a teacher says why you got up let’s say the student is having a bad mode and does not reply another teacher literally tackles a student down this happened one time before just when you think things can’t get worse is if a student is in the apr and they ask the students parents if they want to call 211 if the student is acting really bad if the parent says no they call 911 without asking and the police ask them questions and the student is in the hospital. Another time a student mentioned to me another student was outside of the school and calling 911 for dramatic reasons this. Concerns me so if your child has behavior problems do not put them in the wise program unless you want them to be in a hospital for five hours after school.

Very understanding and patient of my daughters needs. The staff at Yalesville/Harvest Park are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We recently moved to town and my son was welcomed with open arms. Although he still struggles with reading he has come a long way with only one year at Yalesville! The environment is positive with affirmations posted throughout the school and the children start the day with positive announcements. Although my son was excited for summer he was actually sad he wasn't going to go to school. I also want to mention that I do know that Wallingford has a reputation for being a bit "racist" but my son is bi-racial and hasn't felt the least bit an outsider.
