James S Daley Middle School

All the teachers are amazing. They help you whenever you are falling behind and gives you extra time to do your work. They are always there for you. They deal with anything that you feel sad about. All the students are all kind.

These people misdiagnosed my son without my knowledge. I wouldn’t trust them with my son’s education.

I cannot be happier with my family's experience at the Washington School!!! The school felt like home as soon as I walked in. My children loved their teachers from pre-K to 4th grade. It is a very strong school academically and the dedication of each and every teacher is a reason for celebration in my opinion. During our first few years in the school, we were constantly hearing rumors about the school closing and then Mrs. Cunningham appeared and it was a game changing moment for the Washington School. She fought for this school tooth and nail! Soon we got a new roof, new boiler, and new windows... She still didn't get tired and we got new fencing around the school and a whole new renovated bathroom!!! I have spent a lot of time inside the school helping whenever possible or necessary and these students are kept busy the entire day. The school might be small but the effective use of every inch of the school is amazing and the living proof of that is the amazing Mr. Z. He is one of the best PE teachers I have ever seen and my kids absolutely adore him. To top it off, the school has one of the BEST MCAS score in the district!!!!! And that is a FACT for so many years that always makes me wonder "how do these teachers do it?" The Washington School is Lowell's rare gem, hidden, formed by caring, professional, and experienced people working hard for every single kid I have known there. We are proud to be part of it!

I have had 2 students at this school, one from pre-k to 8, the other k to 8. One on the autism spectrum. Both have done really well at this school. One is now in college, after graduating in the top ten in his high school class, which speaks well of how the Bartlett prepared him for high school. After an initial battle to get the one with autism special ed services, which was mostly an issue with the school department's central office, not the school staff, the school staff really stepped up with coming up with effective service plans. Good communication from the school to parents. I really have no complaints about the education my kids got here.
