East Fairhaven

As far as the school and location it’s nice but the staff would be the issue. Some of the teaching practices are questionable , some of the teachers are arrogant and the quality of supervision of the children is def subpar in my opinion. Unfortunately the area doesn’t really have any quality schools since it’s a small town.

My granddaughter has been in preschool at this school for 2 years. She had delayed speech and didn't talk as much as my other grandchildren did at the same age. When she started I could understand perhaps 10% of what she said when she did "talk". I have to say the Project Grow teachers she has had are simply wonderful. She starts kindergarten next year and she's now a chatterbox and I understand about 90% of what she says. On top of that she is a very confident, well adjusted child who just turned 5 years and exhibits strong leadership skills. I expect she will excel in this school. It also seems to have less discipline issues compared to the schools in other towns my other grandchildren attend. In summary, it's hard to imagine an elementary school better than the Center School.

St. Joes is a community based on values. This school cares about creating a wholistic environment where academics and social-emotional well-being are paramount. The school boasts an EEC accredited preschool program at half the cost of traditional day care. Continue as a part of this family community to eighth grade. Money should not be a factor. Discuss your concerns with the tuition and see what aide can be provided. This gift to your children will be dividends well into high school, college and beyond.
