Dr. Kevin M. Hurley Middle School

My son has attended this school for the last 4 years. The school is obviously not getting funding like some other Pawtucket schools and it shows. When asked about it they say all of their funding is going to the Special Education department, and the rest of the students are forgotten about. The main door drop off is chaos- I've seen car accidents and parent fights on numerous occasions- insanity. The school does nothing to improve any of the issues. The school lunch is crap and never served at healthy temperatures- the alternate option is usually not what is posted on the menu. There's a fifth-grade class that hasn't had a teacher all year- teachers on leave- they have short-term subs fill in and kids sitting in on lower grade classes- again being forgotten about and left behind- but they will pass and struggle even more next year in middle school because of the negligence of the elementary school. Better off having your kids go to Potter Burns or even home-schooled.
