Musson Elementary School

We’ve loved everything about DK after a combined 10 years with kids there. The educators, staff, and leadership are incredible. Kids are well prepared for middle school. The student body is diverse. Families are welcomed and very involved, and there are so many fun activities throughout the year. Grateful to have such a great school close to home.

Amazing education and support system for Children lucky enough to be districted for this school. Parents are given lots of support and opportunities to stay involved. Extremely happy with our experience.

My children have spent many years at Brewster and I have been so impressed with the level of education there. The care, concern, well-being and safety of the children has always been of the highest regard. I would definitely recommend Brewster.

Not great. Some of the teachers are good, others are not. Communication is very inconsistent and it’s hard to know what’s going on with your individual students. Special education is severely lacking, not because the resources teachers aren’t trying. There’s simply not enough of them to provide what kids need. The classes are way too big for the teachers to provide anything close to individualized instruction. Instead of paraprofessionals, they have intern teachers from the local university. While it provides extra hands, these are brand new teachers who have not yet learned how to support every kind of learner. The principal is okay, the kids seem to like him. I find him to have the personality of room temperature soup. This is our 4th ever elementary school between our kids and moves, and the most lackluster. As soon as our middle finishes up elementary, we’re hoping to move out of the district or switch to private schools.

OCS has been a wonderful experience for us. The teachers are very caring and take the time to understand each student’s needs and strengths. It doesn’t feel like a one-size-fits-all approach, which we really appreciate. The small class sizes help create a more personal and engaging learning environment. There’s a very positive and supportive feel throughout the school. We’re very glad to be part of it.
