Community Reviews
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.
Posted by a parent on 6/13/2022We have been very pleased with the warmth of the school environment and our son's education during his time at Amigos thus far. The parent community is also very engaged and I think the common thread of valuing dual-language learning creates a tighter-knit community than I have seen elsewhere. Havin
Posted by a parent on 9/16/2015Amigos is a really great school. Our kids are learning in Spanish and English and thriving. Teachers genuinely care about what happens in the classrooms. We are friends with many parents and the school community is motivated and involved. The Amigos community school offers amazing afterschool classe

Posted by a parent on 10/24/2013My child has been at Amigos since 2008. She loves going to school. We have had wonderful teachers, and my child has made great friends.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageKing open is a great school! My daughter first went to the school last year. I had to admit she wasn't so sure about it. Now she is doing distance learning and every day she is enjoying it! She has friends who except her for who she is and won't tease her because of glasses. She even came home with a present one of her friend's gave her. I'm shocked by the way the King Open community cares. The teachers and staff at King Open are the most loyal staff you could ever ask for! I know about all the work my daughter is doing because I'm getting informed about it. The staff constantly provide stuff for online-schooling. The only problem I have is my daughter who always gets bored around a computer. Other than that King Open is a wonderful school that deserves 5 stars. King open is also a Vibrant community full of diverse people! One day my daugther was telling me all about native american life and culture because they learn about it during class. I've never had any problems with this school and neither has my daugther. I think this school is amazing!Parent Review5y ago - John M. Tobin Montessori School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis 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.Parent Review8mo ago - Morse School
