    "Okay school, but absolutely terrible bullying systems. Kids are fine. The school structure is quite good."

    "Asst principal is doing a fantastic job, but too many rules, too uptight of an atmosphere for children this age.. 5th grade staff is overall great, 4th needs work. 3 children through, and seemed that only one 4th grade experience was a great one, surprisingly with a new teacher since new hires seem to be lacking. Perhaps more training in summer or better mentoring. Training during school year should stop for new hires- it should be done on off time since it is disruptive to the classroom."

    "The new principal is cold and has no rapport with the students. The assistant principal is fabulous. The school counselor works at the 3 elementary schools as well as this school and is over-burdened, as well as far too immature for this age group. But the main problem with this school is that so much depends on the teachers your child receives. We had a horrible 4th grade and fabulous 5th grade. And, as with everything else in Chatham, certain families seem to get the teachers they want (they obviously know the system), while the others--the "newbies"--are told teacher requests cannot be honored. This school has A LOT of bullying, which I think the administration is trying to work on, but many of the parents are more concerned that their children be in the top soccer league than treat other students kindly. This school is definitely the worst."

    "The new principal is working hard with the staff on integrating technology which is invigorating the curriculm and making learning challenging."
