Morse School

Restorative discipline at this school really seems to be no discipline, and learning can't happen in that environment.

My son had the worse life experience !! I will never recommend this school for American kids with Arab ethnicity !!! Racism is huge there and they won’t care about those kids !!! We are so DISGUSTED !! Our son suffered from a Severe depression while he was there for just one month and he’s only 10 years old !! They mad evil hate school !! We were so worried about our kid and did our best to make him feel better and happy again as he was always “HAPPY SWEET FUNNY LOVE LEARN” that we did not have time to take a legal action against them, we should have !!

This is the worst school in Cambridge!My children were bullied and faced a life-threatening situation for over 2 years yet the principal and teachers ignored it entirely. We reached out to the police department multiple times and filled more than two police reports . At the end the police officer who referred us to the person in charge at the school — but we never received any response.No one helped us. Not a single person — not the school district, not the councilwoman, not any leader or elected official. The system is broken, and someone needs to investigate the principal immediately. Children’s safety should never be ignored like this.

There are always waitlists for this school, given that it's one of the few bilingual public schools. That perk aside, I have not enjoyed this school whatsoever. There is a stronger community here than at some other Cambridge Public Schools, but it was largely destroyed by COVID mitigation measures. Parents are just not able to participate in school activities. Even my kid's music recital was asynchronous and virtual.The principal is extremely "woke" and there is a lot of political indoctrination in the teaching. My kid is not challenged, and there are limited to no advanced learning opportunities--because #equity, you know.

Super staff and amazing students! We were honored to be back again for two Driscoll Productions Musical Ventriloquist Comedy Purim performances at the New England Hebrew Academy.•The young children were dressed in costumes celebrating Purim. Some also volunteered to join us on stage playing our tambourines and maracas.•At our second performance, a seventh grade boy volunteered to be our HUMAN DUMMY, wear our ventriloquist face mask, and help us sing "No Bully Zone" because the Pharoah was a bully to the Israelites. Many of the older students volunteered to demonstrate their new ventriloquial skills after choosing a puppet of their choice from our big drum case. Volunteers were encouraged to say their first name into the microphone and try moving the puppet's mouth three times as they said "One, Two, Three" with their new puppet voice.

School has major issues with communication regarding problem resolution. Unfortunately, they don't update parents regularly and pretty poor at conflict resolution.
