Valley Community School Middletown

Great Pre-K program! Mrs. Dugan and her classroom aides are fantastic! Best crossing guard lady you’ll ever meet in the mornings and the school in general always feels welcoming. Lots of after school activities as well.

It IS A Great School That I am In

Cost not worth the return. The other independent school option 10 minutes away is half the price with the same curriculum and extracurricular offerings. Don’t be fooled by the laundry list of amenities your child gets. Most of those amenities don’t apply to younger students. I find it interesting that a parental review would use a buzz word like “at capacity” (How would a parent know that?) It sounds like it was written by the enrollment director herself.

In January 2021 I yanked my children out of Pell which they despised. I transferred them to another public school system which involves 100 miles of driving per day and $6k/yr/kid. It is well worth the time and money as the kids literally run from the car to be the first in line every morning.why would a parent want to send their child to Pell which has one of the worst ratings in Rhode Island
