Alfred W. Hanmer School

As a 15 year old freshman in Wethersfield High, I look back at Belizzi as one of the most incompetent schools in Connecticut. If there was ever a big issue going on, the administrators would do barley anything! Bullying and harassment is also a big issue at the school. For being a school based on asian studies, the mandarin classes were the most chaotic and disruptive ones. Overall, there are countless schools in Connecticut that deserve your attention more than Bellizzi.

I am really disappointed with how Naylor school is run. They do not hold students accountable for their actions (even physical altercations) instead the principal amd vice principal sweeps it under the rug to avoid bad publicity/conflict. My child has been hit and bullied on multiple ocassions by another student and instead of suspending them, followed by expulsion if it continues, they simply continue to let them come to school because they are afraid of certain parents. I have even spoken to staff and they also agree and even mention that students that hurt staff are not held accountable. Honestly this school needs a revamp. All principals and vice principals need to be fired and new staff with better communication skills and the ability to handle conflict need to be put in place. If you are afraid of parents this is not the job for you. If you are afraid of students this is also not the job for you.My recommendation is to try and apply to programs to other magnet schools in or out of Hartford. Way better than sending your kids here!

Very troubling that students with very diverse needs would be entrusted to a system with staff that do not meet the minimum standards for the teaching profession. While I like the idea of the Catholic schools, my child's education is way too important to risk on unqualified and poorly trained staff. We will stay public.

One of the best Italian and Spanish students highly recommended.
