Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2009-08-27 “I have just pulled two of my children out of this school.This school is into themselves way to much meaning teachers gossip in front of the children ,There Gym is very old and needs to be rebuild,They focus on there needs not the childrens needs.they are quickly to say your child has add and he or she has never had an issue the years befor.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2009-07-09 “I am afraid that I cannot offer many stars for the middle school. I am not impressed with the involvement of the teachers and the principal. The school spirit is the lowest that I have seen through all of my 4 kids schools. There is no school spirit. The students arent involved in much, because there isnt much to get involved in. The academic emphasis is lacking in a serious way and the test scores show it. Parents need to supplement their childs education in order to transition from middle to high school and not have them behind. There arent huge negatives about the school but equally I have nothing overly positive to say about the school. I recommend seeking other options for schooling if you live on base and value a good education.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2009-02-25 “I would like to thank all the parents from 2007 that finally took a stand against the Lincoln administration and demanded changes after years of being ignored and seeing the continued pattern of decline. Results are a new playground for middle school, new math program, and most important that Lincoln know they will be held accountable and not take advantage of Federal funds. I have been here many years and know the before and after. It did take those parents contacting the Department of Defense in Washington to put a fire under the Lincoln Administrations feet quickly. In the past military families just accepted the system until a group of 2007 parents said, 'Lets change it now for the future kids of Hanscom'. Thank you 2007 Parents. Seeing the before and after, I know now how important parent involment is not only with the teachers but the head administration.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2009-01-08 “This is a great school with a very caring, professional and well educated staff. Test scores are what they are because of the high turnover of students, but if you look at the scores of students who have been at the school for more than a year they are fantastic. The science program has issues but the math was just changed and is very challenging.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-09-25 “This school needs new administration and hold teachers accountable. High percent of kids are not prepared for Bedford High or a state move to another school. Look at the state scores (very low), and the teaching stategies are a combination of being outdated and inexperience. Lack of Science and Math program to keep the kids at respected grade level. We pulled our child and put in private to prepare for High School. Should of rented outside of Hanscom to avoid school, and now we are stuck paying for private.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-04-13 “My children are at the end of their firs year, and I am not happy with this school. It is very unorganized, lunchtime volumne/behavior is not controlled, kids are allowed to keep interupting during class time only to get a 'pink slip' for bad behavior. I agree with others, the basic average student is not challenaged due to bad students being allowed to control teachers time. Administrators just want the Government Pension, teachers have protected jobs due to government contract and this unproffesional behavior shows in the school district. Next time I would go private or rent in Bedford or Lexington, MA.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2007-10-11 “I just pulled my three children [from] this school. It is a small school with just military children attending, but most have discipline problems and the staff is overwhelmed. It is a shame to see the studies lowered to the lower performing student. The goods students are being pacified and not challenaged. They should be teaching Latin and not Spanish twice a week.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2007-10-09 “If you have a child that has excelled prior to comming to Hanscom you will need to supplement their education in addition to attending Hanscom. They do not challenage children. Postive: it is a safe environment, Negative: you will need to supplement your childs grade level to have them prepared.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2007-08-17 “3 stars. I give the Middle School a 3-star rating. And I give it that for the teachers who really do a great job and care about the students. However, I agree with the parent who gave the school a 2 star rating. The school is in a very affluent area and sometimes I get the impression that we are considered the 'low class' of the district. Considering our children have a worldside education and their 'real world' military lifestyles you would think they would be treated with more respect. Fortunately, this is the only school district (out of many and in many states/countries) that I have encountered this kind of attitude.” Posted By: principal Quality Score: decline 2007-04-14 “I regret that this parent has had a negative experience at Hanscom Middle School. I have just been at the school for the past year and have not found either an anti-military attitude nor one that suggests parents should be honored to send their children to our school. The entire staff recognizes the challenges faced by military families (e.g. deployment, regular geographical relocation) and tries to adapt the program and expectations to the students' needs. Our School Advisory Council is just completing a parent survey about school programs and climate, and I will post the results here when they are available.”
