Community Christian School

My son has been failing and doesn’t event get homework so he can be helped. Teacher dose not communicate. We can’t sit in class to know what is even being tough while the teacher states he’s doing good but failing on his report card.

The staff at Daughtrey have a compassion for the students and safety is number one priority!!!

My oldest has been enrolled at Samoset since 2022 when we switched schools. She finished out the remainder of 2nd grade and is currently in 4th grade. My youngest just started kindergarten at Samoset this year. Both my kids have had good experiences so far. There are some fantastic teachers at this school that really love working with kids and making sure they understand the material being taught. After-school tutoring is provided for intermediate grades through 21st Century per request. Tutoring is also offered on Saturdays for intermediate grades to assist with learning components featured on the FAST test. Perfect attendance is recognized and celebrated monthly with prizes, snacks, or a party. They've implemented a new Positive Referral to recognize outstanding behavior in students of all grades. Samoset just had a new front office addition built which makes the school much more secure. The playground is brand-new as well, installed in 2022. Many of the students that go here need additional support, whether it be due to a language barrier, restricted income, behavioral challenges, etc. The school recognizes this and has corresponding staff and teachers to work with these students to help overcome obstacles. Teachers work together closely and are familiar with every student in the grade they teach, not just their own classroom. Fine arts classes are a daily part of the students' schedules and include STEM, Library Skills/Information Literacy, Music, PE, and Art. They also offer clubs like TSA and K-Kids. My oldest was in the Cambridge pre-AICE program last year, and if you have an advanced child who needs to be challenged more in school, I definitely recommend it. Cambridge is more fast-paced and covers current grade level as well as next grade level standards. Expect your student to have lots of homework and classwork if you elect to go this route. It can be overwhelming for students who aren't used to the high workload the program requires. Overall, my kids are happy at Samoset and get fantastic grades, their teachers work hard to ensure everyone is successful, and I believe the school is on the right path to turn things around. Test scores are troubling, but when you take into account that 44% of students at Samoset are English language learners, you understand why standardized test scores alone are not the deciding factor in whether this is a "good" or "bad" school.

I am a teacher here at Abel and I have watched it grow over the past couple years into a really wonderful place for students, teachers, parents, and all additional staff members. Our staff as a whole all love our students and families and want to see them succeed. We are a school that gets to watch entire families grow up as the first child comes through and brings along all their siblings as well. This allows us to really feel like a family and have that family community. Under the direction of our new principal, Samantha Webb, and our assistant principal, Jennifer Moore, the vision and mission of the school has evolved to put its students at the heart of it while also supporting the learning and development of its teachers. Abel is a wonderful place to learn, grow, and discover how to be the best you can be.
