Boston Teachers Union School

We’ve been at the Sumner two years and our very pleased, especially with the remote learning. If I could give the Sumner 4.5 stars I would (because hey no school is perfect and BPS facilities do need upgrading - though the Sumner has an amazing brand new playground). We’ve had two fabulous teachers and have been able to connect with other families. The school is large but I have never gotten the impression that it’s overcrowded. I love that the preschool classrooms are by themselves on the lower level and likewise the wraparound care for the youngest grades. I think the school and especially the parent council try hard to reach out to engage families and are especially concerned with doing so equitably, given how diverse the school is.

Esta escuela es maravillosa!!!!!! Aprender, se divierten, y comparte!

Es increíble la calidad humana y pedagógica de todo el personal de esta institución. Dudo que mis hijos puedan sentirse en otra escuela como lo hicieron en esa, mucha dedicación, mucho amor por lo que hacen y sobre todo la responsabilidad académica que tienen. Agradeceré infinita mente a Mr Jean, su desempeño es invaluable; Mr Rithe, Ms Be, Ms McComack ufff sin palabras, en fin mis hijos al igual que yo felicitan a esta ejemplar institución, felicidades a ese equipo directivo que hace que todo funcione a cabalidad, a todos todos gracias

Overall great experience thus far, my son has experienced continuous academic growth and has really become part of the school culture. The school's curriculum is well rounded and focused on the whole child.

I regret that a school that was a staple in the community for so long has fallen so low. It's safe to say once there was a turnover in leadership almost 10 years ago it started going down hill and the past 5 years has culminated into a disaster both financially and academically. You can't continue to rob Peter to pay Paul then turn around and not pay Paul either. Simply Sad.
