Demello has been a wonderful experience for both my children as students and my husband and I as parents. The atmosphere is positive, the leaders and teachers are engaging and truly get to know their students, and the curriculum is both reactive to the needs of the school as well as proactive regard
Posted by a parent on 12/9/2025I love DeMello and Cushman schools! Great teachers, great kids all nestled in this great school.
Posted by a parent on 3/10/2014I found many of my child's teachers to be over reliant on keeping children back. I couldn't believe how many children were kept back who were actually passing students just to raise MCAS scores. They don't have a good inschool tutor to help children who are behind and the class size seems overwhelmi
Posted by a parent on 3/31/2012Out of all of the public elementary schools in Dartmouth, this is by far the smallest with much more individualized attention per student.
Posted by a parent on 10/20/2010The teachers here who actually help kids with questions and don't yell it to them are very narrow. I'm not saying all of them are tough, there are a few God-sent teachers in the school. At lunch they yell to the kids to give them '5'.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageFor students, the school contributes what they can to teaching and supporting children with the resources they are given. And this is a positive thing. However, in my visits with the school, I have experienced an incredible display of very derogatory, condescending, aggressive and incredibly unprofessional behavior by faculty members towards faculty members and adults. Enough to feel uncomfortable enough about it to write a review. I, personally, would feel uncomfortable sending my children to a school where common decencies and professionalism falter in some of the staff members that are supposed to be shaping young minds and promoting an atmosphere of equality and kindness.Other Review5mo ago - William H Taylor Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHorrible from the entire district school department to this school. The whole system is terrible, illogical, frustrating for parents, extremely disorganized from the "websites" to the sent home paperwork. There are serious flaws in this school and if you get a teacher that is actually interested in teaching and inspiring their students be warned, it probably won't happen again.Parent Review5y ago - St James & St John School
