Worcester Academic Center for Transition (ACT)

I love this school I get to have fun Friday!

Norrback is a wonderful school and has been a positive experience for my 3 children, who currently attend. This is not a "heard through a friend" review; this is a firsthand, objective review weighing performance over 5+ years. That said my children haven't gone through 5th and 6th grade yet so I can only speak to K-4th. The learning experience has been very positive with solid teaching. Academically, it's one of the better elementary schools in the city. No complaints there!The school has resources and takes steps to prevent bullying and support mental health. If there's bullying it's dealt with immediately. It's a secure environment. There's a feeling the staff and administration that genuinely cares about their students' safety and well-being. The special education team is EXCELLENT! Can't say enough about how strong they are at Norrback. My younger two have IEPs and have seen significant progress across the board. The family engagement is really good, with multiple school-led and PTO-led events every year. There's always a strong turnout from families. It's a true school community, which is important. Definitely recommend Norrback.

I am extremely pleased with this school and very happy with my son’s achievements. After completing Pre-K, he is now in kindergarten and thoroughly enjoying each day. The teachers are excellent, providing individual attention to each student’s progress. I highly recommend this school!

I do not know how this state allow such low performing school to fool the muslim community. This place need so much reform and a lot of attention from the responsible from the people who run the educational system. Very shameful. I will never forgive you for what you did to my child. God will take care of you all.

The educational and extracurricular opportunities provided by Bancroft are incredibly personalized and rivaled by no other schools.
