Some teachers are wonderful. It is NOT a school for high needs children although it says it is. Children do not receive the correct pull-outs for therapy according to their IEP's and the school is very hard to work with. I have had children on IEP's; this school outright lies through their director
Posted by a parent on 5/14/2024One of the best schools I have ever known, I had to move and my son left with a broken heart. He always talks to me fondly about the great teacher he had here and how much he misses her.
Posted by a parent on 10/17/2023The Curley is the reason we decided not to leave Boston. We were worried that our daughter wouldn't get into a good community school, with art and science programming. We were desperate to stay in Boston and put Curley at the top of our list. We were lucky and got into Ms. Nason's room; and she is t
Posted by a parent on 8/28/2013I have 2 kids at this school.1 did Advanced Work & the teacher was excellent.1 had a good teacher who did her best with an oversubscribed and chaotic class.The school has an involved group of about 30+ families, which sounds good, but is not that great when it's out of 500+ families. Much of the vol

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe are in our third year at the Mendell and have had nothing but a positive experience! The members of the staff are thoughtful, friendly, and engaged and there is a strong parental community that really cares for the school. The teachers are excellent and Ms. Bott, the principal, really cares about her students. We are looking forward to our younger child hopefully starting K1 there in the Fall.Parent Review8y ago - John F Kennedy Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHi my name is Wanda G. I have 2 kids in the JFK and I believe the John F Kennedy School is a excellent school... offers a lot of programs suitable for our kids, with allot of concern for students & parents well been and communication. 95% of teachers are excellent and you can see they want the best for our kids instead of just working for a check and spending the summer off... me myself had been in programs involving me and my kids and had been times (actually must of the times) when is time to leave... (around 7:30PM), they are still there including the Principal (Miss Landing). My kids had been in JFK for their school years and I love it. When you walk in... they make you feel welcome. Can't complain about my 2nd home for my kids... cause that's how I see it. I know they are safe and having teacher with big concerns about safety.. make the JFK School one of the best school around.Parent Review11y ago - Hernandez K-8 School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe are so happy at the Hernandez! It’s a great community and many of the teachers have been at the school for a long time and are still excited to be back every year. We have one child in pre-K and one in second and the bilingual education is wonderful. The principal is great and very accessible, and there’s lots of parent engagement.Parent Review2y ago - Elc - West Zone

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIts truly a hidden gem in Boston. The school believes in developing a "whole child"- socially, physically as well as academically. With a considerably low teacher turnover, they seem very dedicated towards providing an enriching and fun-filled experience for kids from K0-1st grade. A big Thank You to the Principal ,teachers and staff for making it a memorable schooling experience for our twin girls in their early school years.Parent Review8y ago - Hollow Reed School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI 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.Other Review10y ago
