Curvin-McCabe School

My son has attended this school for the last 4 years. The school is obviously not getting funding like some other Pawtucket schools and it shows. When asked about it they say all of their funding is going to the Special Education department, and the rest of the students are forgotten about. The main door drop off is chaos- I've seen car accidents and parent fights on numerous occasions- insanity. The school does nothing to improve any of the issues. The school lunch is crap and never served at healthy temperatures- the alternate option is usually not what is posted on the menu. There's a fifth-grade class that hasn't had a teacher all year- teachers on leave- they have short-term subs fill in and kids sitting in on lower grade classes- again being forgotten about and left behind- but they will pass and struggle even more next year in middle school because of the negligence of the elementary school. Better off having your kids go to Potter Burns or even home-schooled.

I have to say i love this school for my child. Most staff is very friendly and very empathetic. Recently we had an incident with our child and the way Mr. Franco and Ms. Botelho handled the situation was on point. They showed us that they do care about their students and they made sure we were updated with every steps they were taking to solve this matter. My son felt like he was being heard and that he was taken seriously and that means the world to me because it boost his confidence and he feels safe in school. Great work!

Saint Cecilia School has been an incredible blessing to our family. Our children have attended for the past six years, and we truly couldn't be happier with our experience. This school is so much more than a place to learn—it is a family.The teachers genuinely care about each child, taking the time to encourage, support, and help them grow both academically and personally. They have brought out the very best in each of my children and have helped them build confidence, kindness, and a love of learning.One of the things that makes Saint Cecilia so special is the sense of community. The principal knows every child by name and works alongside the teachers to ensure every student and family feels welcomed, supported, and valued. The faculty and staff truly partner with parents, creating an environment where children can thrive.While every family's experience is unique, ours has been overwhelmingly positive. We are grateful every day to be part of the Saint Cecilia School family and highly recommend it to any family looking for a school that provides an excellent education while truly caring about each child.
