Westbrook Regional Technology Center

I am altering my review from a couple of years ago to reflect efforts being made between then and now. The lack of parking is still a problem, but they have been actively trying to streamline the drop-off process to address the issue of kids being late to class due to being stuck in the traffic line. The biggest problem is related to district funding and not prioritizing access to transportation. Those who live within a mile are still not offered school buses in the winter (meaning children as young as five, and often their younger siblings and parents/grandparents walk a mile both ways- even on days deemed too dangerously cold for 15 minutes of outdoor recess). The district definitely needs to step up and deal with its transportation problems, but I recognize that Hall School probably has little say in that. Considering the need for adequate funding, and the great diversity of needs of the children at Hall Elementary, they do a great job of working with individual students. The teachers are very high quality, and the principal is very friendly and helpful.

Talbot (previously known as Riverton) Elementary is a very good school. The teachers and administrators really put a lot of effort into making the school a great place for kids. It also has a big campus with lots of outdoor space and a brand new playground. Which was very helpful during COVID as a lot of lessons were taught outside to reduce potential exposure.I originally had my daughter in a private school and we took her out to put her in Riverton. We have loved it. Highly recommend it.

Teachers are great! They are very helpful.

My 2 grandchildren have been at Breakwater since they each started school in Pre K. They are now 10 & 12 years old. Both of them get a wonderful education at Breakwater. Teachers are fantastic. The oldest loves the Arts and the youngest loves sports. Breakwater satisfies both children. What I love the most is that both of them are such KIND individuals for which I commend not only Breakwater but also their parents.
