Squantum Elementary School

I currently have 2 students that attend NHCS. One in middle school and the other graduating from high school. When my children first attended the school In elementary I truly loved the school. This year my child started middle. This is the first time since my children have attended the school that I am not happy. The principal of the middle runs it like a BPS school. He doesn’t encourage teacher parent relationship, he is ok with living children outside alone with no adult supervision, and the middle school doesn’t have a special education teacher. Therefore my child and other child have falling behind academic. Some of the teachers have nasty attitudes towards parents and students. I am strongly concerning pull my child out of this school and maybe trying later for high school!

I would NOT recommend this school to anyone. It's the worst in the district and has been under state receivership for years yet has still been unable to turn their failing school around.

This school is extremely bad. The students here are incredibly disrespectful, swear a lot, fight, bang on doors, and even fight on campus very frequently, especially in 7th grade where they push each other a lot. I repeat, fighting is extremely, extremely bad. Students hide in the restrooms smoking e-cigarettes, and if students swear, the teachers turn a blind eye. The skipping rate at this school is extremely high. For example, I was in recess in the gym until lunchtime, and for some reason another student pushed me hard. In short, if you're choosing a school for your child, avoid this one.

Great school. I used to go here. Infact, I would be a pretty good student here. there were all types of people and personality’s. It was fun to walk into school and see what would go down, or what crazy and exciting stuff the teachers would do. Sometimes, kids who finished at that school would come and visit at the end of the day. And principal bryan(t? so sorry if i spelt it wrong) was an amazing principal. Great work. There were small mishaps here and there and silly elementary drama, but it was mostly solved or forgotten, Great school with good opportunities, yet, making friends can be hard, coinciding is great.

We feel fortunate to be part of this school. It has provided an excellent education and fostered a love for learning in my children. I am incredibly proud to see how much they have grown. The school's overall vibe is so welcoming and it is truly a hidden gem.
