John F. Ryan Elementary School

Excellent school. Both my kids attended recently. Tewksbury schools are underrated.

We have had a wonderful experience with the Pre-K program at the Dewing School. Teachers are both effective and compassionate, and my daughter has made wonderful progress both socially and academically. The kids are great, and teachers are there to teach them problem-solving skills when conflicts do arise. We love this school!

This school is a mess. I've attended this school from K to 8th grade and at first it wasn't bad at all but when I hit 8th grade, that's when it became a little much. The new principals are dramatic crybabies that will punish you for simply breathing. Teachers have a very poor habit of speaking badly about students and have even went as far as to commenting on the female students bodies/what they wear. Not only that but some teachers pick very obvious favorites and which makes the other children feel unseen. I can guarantee that your child will not learn the appropriate material for their grade level and will enter high school with little to no understanding of what's happening in some classes. Students have been targeted and picked on by teachers for no reason as well, something I have seen with my own eyes. Do not send your child here if you are looking for a healthy establishment because lo and behold: you will not find it here.
