Abbott Middle School

Principal sits in his office and does not help when needed. I have observed that Mr. Corcoran has his favorites in staff and students, it definitely shows. My child was getting bullied at Harriet Gifford and Mr. Corcoran would just sit in his office and do nothing. Comment he said about one of the staff who would call for help was we didn't hire this teacher to use all of our additional staff.

My experience with this school is terrible. The princicpal is not very understanding and has no compassionate to help students instead, he focuses on the school system and the troublemakers. the way the principal operate the school is extremely poor.

Our experience differs greatly from the previous reviews. Our child is finishing up 5th grade at Washington and is in the dual language program. They started before COVID and had mostly distance learning for 1st grade. Kindergarten was kind of rough, I think because some families did not have a diagnosis/supports in place via preschool. The school handled working with all of the students well, it just took time. What we value about Washington is that we trust them to educate our child and keep them safe. It's a community school which feels like a community. They have proven to us each year that this is their goal. Our child is doing well academically and socially at Washington. I'm particularly impressed with the math skills they and the neighbor children have. I've learned about how they learn to work in teams and support each other. I think that's great for their overall skill building with concepts and people.I recommend the u-46 preschool program for setting up students for services and easing the transition to school.

I have 2 kids currently enrolled at St. Thomas More Catholic School. We have been with them for 6 years now and I could not be more proud and happy. I observed the biggest change in my son’s values esp in praying at second grade but for sure, it all started when he was in preschool. Over time, it developed and blossomed into a special kind of relationship with God at such a young age. Kudos to their amazing and hands-on faculty and staff. We are really thankful for having found STM.

The staff is very nice, but drop off and pick up is difficult and in a very busy area. The school could use a good cleaning, it is not the cleanest.

Everyone is amazing Teachers and administrator's. My 1st grader loves it there, everyone knows each other. He gets up every morning eager for school. I recommend this school (community) very highly.

I had two children graduate from St. John's, and two more children attending. My children that graduated were well ahead of their high school peers, and because of the curriculum at St. John's, I felt my children had better memorization skills and study skills. We have been at St. John's for over 10 years and I have been impressed with the staff, not only do they care about their educational journey, but they have also been there for them on a spiritual and individual level. One of my children wished to go to an academy in U-46, and their teacher was extremely helpful walking them through the process and helping them achieve their goal.
