Brimfield Elementary School

I have a second grader and two children in Kindergarten attending Brimfield Elementary, and I am extremely happy with the teachers of my children. They do an amazing job! I could not be happier.

Overall brimfield school is great! I have special needs and regular children in the school. As of now the school has been very accomadating to our needs. Would reccomend this school for your child.

Unfortunately, while test scores may be improving, the quality of the educational experience overall is declining at BES. The methods tend to be very traditional and conservative and seem to age more rapidly each year. The curriculum can be unclear and randomly changing. BES lacks basic technology integration with the curriculum compared to many other elementary schools in MA or CT with similar test scores. The evaluation process is also confusing, with different teachers offering different explanations to different parents for what it means to be at or approaching or exceeding standards. The Principal seems to have little interaction with families or students. If your child has special needs or concerns, be prepared for an uphill battle - although the OT IS wonderful, when she's available. Don't plan to participate in the parent-teacher organization if you work normal business hours, as planned alternating-month evening meetings are always canceled or re-scheduled to just after to school. Despite a fledging effort to raise funds for replacement, most of the playground is over 30 years old and should be condemned.
