Mansfield Middle School

If you love your children do not send them to the school. Especially if they are special needs. They will be ostracized the moment they walk into that school. And bullied relentlessly until you leave the school terrible Administration. If they just like to collect in the money for scholarships they will do nothing to help your special needs child especially if they can learn on their own.

We moved from a district on the west side of the county known for huge class sizes, young teaching staff, and pulling in large open enrollment numbers -- and lots of bullying. Discovery School took my child who had loved school and lost that love and gave him the joy of self-directed learning in Genius Hour, fed his love of nature and natural learning in Woods class, given him a deep perspective and framework for building thinking through units of inquiry. He gets bummed now when he DOESN'T have school instead of wishing for snow days. He's now above grade level in reading and math, and feels like he belongs, is cared for, and that this is his place. Best change we ever made.
