Hanscom Primary School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2009-07-09 “I wish I could give the school more stars, because the teachers are really helpful and enthusiastic. But, something is missing. The academics just arent impressive...its almost like a lazy way of learning. My child is a really good student, but it seemed like the teachers were not emphasizing the need to be great at what they were learning. It is the summer of 2009 and I have to get my child 'caught up' in order for her to transition in fourth grade (in another state). My child is behind compared to our new states' academics. Before we knew that we were moving, we were looking into private schools. Students at this school NEED to supliment their education in order to be average...I regret to say that, but it is true.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2008-12-23 “My children went to Hanscom schools for a short time before we realized the emphasis was special needs and everyone else was left behind. We homeschooled for 3.5 years while here and moved on to a much better school district in Ohio. I feel sorry for the children at Hanscom because when their families move to a better school system, their children will be far behind. It's a shame becuase there is potential. As mentioned in the other post, if your child is special needs, it's definitely the place for you.....if your child is average or above, find somewhere else to educate your child!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2008-07-11 “All three of my children went through k-3. I am a teacher in another district. I was extremely disappointed in Hanscom. They do not involve parents, they are not familiar with the diverse military child, and I needed to do extra work at home due to the school class moving so slow that my children were regressing and getting bored. The system is misleading and most do not realize their child is behind until the end of the school year, when you have a another system to compare it to.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-07-01 “Two of my children attended Hanscom Primary for 3 and 2 years respectively. The teachers and staff are extremely supportive of students and parents, show a great enthusiasm for teaching and are always willing to find new ways to teach. My children could not have gotten a better start into their school years.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2008-03-20 “While the staff and principal might be highly educated on paper, they do not apply their learned skills in HPS. It is a system where the salaries and pensions are protected before the children and school needs. It is a school with a constant changing direction and an adminstration with no concept of the military child comming from school systems from all over the world and at different levels. I was expecting a stellar and organized program being located near Boston.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2007-10-11 “This school deserves the Great School 5 out of 10 rating. This school is overwhelmed with IEP and Behavior problems that the average good student is now slipping through the sytem. I have had two children go one year and I would give it 4/10. Great administrators and teachers but distracted in the day with behavior problems. Due to Federal Law for IEP students, the average child is now left behind. You will have to supplement for your child to be prepared for another military move and school district” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-06-12 “I think this school is great. The teachers really take pride in their job. My daughter loves it. The school has plenty of extra-curricular activities for the children. They also encourage parent participation with school events and field trips. If you are moving to Hanscom and are undecided about living on base, The school is reason enough to live on base. It's a great elementary school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-06-22 “My child attended this school for a year and a half before we had to move. I have to say it was the most wonderful experience. The staff is dedicated and loving and gave my child the best start in education I could have ever asked for. Because of the staff at this school my child has confidence and the skills needed to to well in any school he might attend. I will always have the fondest memories of my childs attendance there. If your child had the opportunity to attend take it as a gift that very few recieve.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-04-27 “We have been here for 3 years and this school has been amazing. The teachers are friendly, helpful and very accessible to parents. The special education department is outstanding! If you have children dont be hesitant about living on base and sending them to this school, it is great!”
