I am writing this review based on my experience working at the Manville School as a Behavioral Specialist. Families deserve to hear from staff who worked directly with students and witnessed daily operations.My experience at Manville was extremely disappointing. The workplace culture lacked communic
Posted by a community member on 1/29/2026I am a former student of Manville I finished I think around 2013 there's rarely a day that goes by that I don't think of my time at this place it's like a waking nightmare I still see my peers pounding and yelling inside of the isolation rooms I hear them screaming in the hallways being restrained t
Posted by a community member on 1/15/2025My child is a former Lower School student. I would never recommend this school to another person. The environment traumatized my kid but also the school reputation of being the place for problem kids made it almost impossible to transfer him elsewhere. Leadership is extremely patronizing and not tru
Posted by a parent on 2/23/2024Parents, read the review that was written by a student on Jul 1 2022. The experience that student describes mirrors the experience that we endured and witnessed with our son who attended this nightmare of a special education placement for 2 years. The program really is based on intimidation and puni
Posted by a parent on 7/6/2022I attended this school for 4 years and still struggle with trauma every day from the constant violence and degrading structure. I strongly urge all parents to listen to their kids because the administration will not tell you the truth. They base their so called “behavior support” on punishment and d

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageExcellent cirriculum and access to higher levels of academics. Majority of teachers are easy to communicate with and have rapid channels to speak within a reasonable timeline. Safety is the upmost importance and unfortunately, from personal experience, multiple kids feel unsafe and have been victims of conflict amongst their peers in alarming circumstances and at such a close distance from the school grounds. Currently policy has been allegedly to that both parties, the suspected attacker(s) and victim along with their parents will receive mass punishment from the school without legal precedence. These actions have been expressed by superintendent and principles alike, that theres is issues of understaff and opinions of other parents suspect that this is in the hope that the informal actions do not get disputed where formal process would have to begin only when legal actions are discussed agaonst the school. I would not recommend this school unless you are in a position to hold the administration accountable and ensure their upholding the standards. Every month theres something new where our kids and their friends are getting injured in some shape or fashion and currently is out of control. There are mentally disabled children amongst the kids that show irrational behavior towards them and do receive punitive action or extra guidance from the staff. Eventually this will lead to further injury for both staff and families.Parent Review2mo ago - Hale Elementary School

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 - Paige Academy

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy granddaughter has only been going there since September but I am so impressed with this school. There is a low student/teacher ratio, it is racially diverse, the teachers are well educated and promote an environment of healthy living and learning. Most important to me....they are king, available and my granddaughter loves the school and the chickens!Other Review4y ago - Blessed Sacrament Elementary School
