Maple Avenue School

This school is absolutely amazing! The faculty and staff know every kid by name. The principal is always visible and approachable. The special education staff has consistently gone over and above my expectations during the last few years. Even during the roughest of times they were even more vigilant in helping me to cope with my child during home schooling. They gave suggestions, sent me visuals, added Zoom sessions to relieve some of the stress and to keep my son engaged and called regularly with support and to discuss my concerns. The principal even called before school opened to wish my daughter a happy birthday. We feel that we moved to the right town to bring up and educate our children.

Bullying is rampant at this school. We moved here from Manchester and there was never an issue from that elementary school. Big difference from City to country. Principal is don't care attitude

Terrible. Small town mentality not willing to change anything for the better.

Not great. Procedures carried out in rote by the book but not with much feeling or tailoring to needs. Frequent concerns often shushed or ignored and swept away. Some good teachers who are receptive and listen, but they are bound by this rigid system they all are administered by. Not entirely the schools fault but the SAU's position with the state and failure to take a stand when things matter. Small town thinking unfortunately because they are dependent upon dollars. I am optimistic they will improve and learn that those raising concerns are not just trying to make trouble, but that is how it comes across. Not terrible, but not great either, especially if you have any special needs kids which is more often the case now then not because the curriculum does not allow for any variances in population it serves.

Poor administration. This school used to one of the best and cared about the children . My older child went there now it's horrible no one watches the Jed's at recess and the refuse to give the kids any of the devices they need. The fight and argue with the parents . Ieps are a joke the children have to meet there needs who is paying for this again mountain view all over again it's a shame
