Rampant discrimination, incompetent administration. Only competent administrators have resigned.
Posted by a community member on 11/15/2025I couldn't be happier with the education and support that Galvin teachers and administration provides.

Posted by a parent on 5/27/2016Our daughter is in 6th grade at Galvin. We couldn't be happier. The new school is amazing - state of the art physical plant and wonderful teachers. The auditorium is exceptional and we have seen 2 amazing musical productions by the Drama club (grades 5-8). Every child is different - and there is no
Posted by a parent on 4/3/2016Galvin Middle has been a good school for my daughter who entered attending grade 6. The teachers and students were open to a "New" student.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI can’t say enough good things about the Woodville School! The teachers, principal and PTO are all top notch!! The school communications are excellent and the secretary up front is a parent favorite :) The PTO hosts numerous events throughout the year for students and parents. Most field trips are free because of the fabulous PTO fundraisers. This school had a bad rep about 8-10 years ago because of a past principal. This school has come a long way and it is currently (by far) the best school in Wakefield. US Reports rates this school #1 in Wakefield as well. Go Bears!Parent Review6mo ago - Early Childhood Center

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe moved our three elementary aged children to St Joes for the September 2020 school year. We were not happy with what we were seeing with COVID protocols and the push to keep kids virtual from our public school. Our son, who was in K when COVID happened, was already struggling with reading. We were unsure if we were making the right choice, but within the first few weeks I knew we did and questioned why we hadn’t made the move sooner. The teachers are incredible. Our son was getting caught up and reading on his own! Our two daughters were both thriving and loving school, their teachers and peers. I’m impressed by the curriculum and was shocked what they were missing from their time in public school. This was definitely our families COVID silver lining.Parent Review3y ago
