Joseph Estabrook Elementary School

I have 2 kids in the school, and have found our experience outstanding. The teachers are engaging and work hard to inspire the students. Both of my kids have decided they want to go to college and have technical careers, which I think is great. The school offers many programs, which my kids have tried several. This includes sports clubs, robotics clubs, business clubs and many more. Ove 100 mentioned at our orientation. The school has been active in preparing kids for SAT exams, and providing opportunities for learning sessions for various colleges.I find the social environment great. The school embraces all different cultures and makes an effort to make everyone feel welcome. My kid comes home and share new things about many different friends that are from different countries and/or have different religions. It's wonderful to see they're all kids with similar interests. Glad we moved to Burlington.

Do yourself a favor and try to avoid this school at all costs. The Air Force needs to revaluate how they determine which towns will staff/support the elementary/middle school on Hanscom. Currently, k-8 falls under Lincoln School District. The current contract would be better negotiated with a town like Bedford who can adequately support the diverse needs of this unique population of students. Expect your child to not only be bullied by other children, but by the staff as well. While the building is nice, the school needs a major staff overhaul.

My Child started kindergarten at Mount Hope and I can't be happier. I heard about good stories about mount hope prior to sending him there, but they exceeded my expectations in all ways. Teachers are awesome and loving and caring. All admin staff are well informed, educated and dedicated! Lunch is delicious and nutrious with a reasonable cost. He happily reported that it is better than top notch restaurants he's eaten before. I can see my son growing intellectually, socially and spiritually every day!
