New principal is very strict and not a people person. My kids have had up to 26 kids/class so the number shown here are too low. School was built in the 60's and needs serious repair. They can't seem to heat it properly. Tons of homework but that is expected in this town. Safety is adequate. Teachers are great but are getting burnt out because of large class sizes. They teach to the MCAS like everyone else. MCAS scores are good because the kids take so many practice tests.
