Swampscott Middle School Reviews


Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2008-06-22 “It was really great. The teachers were amazing and taught well. The school is organized and well disaplined” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2007-11-28 “I think that the principal, Mr. Ralph Watson, should actually contact parents when they call. Maybe he could also be more involved with the kids. The teachers, however are wonderful. The school is quite safe, but not because of the principal. It is safe simply because it is the town of Swampscott, with very little crime rate. The assistant principal, Mrs. Lay, unlike Mr. Watson, is wonderful, and I find that she interacts well with the students.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-09-26 “I have been delighted with the quality of the academic programs and the willingness of the teachers to cater to the needs of the individual student at Swampscott Middle School. The variety of activities available to the students and the participation of the parents I have found to be outstanding. They have been particularly sensitive to the anxiety my child was feeling in moving to this school district. He has met a truly good bunch of children who have helped us greatly with the transition. The teachers have all reached out to my child to make his experience a good one and he is excelling in his studies.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-09-19 “My daughter is in SMS right now and we are happy with The School. Dr. Landman's (the former principal's) retirement last year left a void that will be hard to fill. His legacy lives on with the great teachers he cultivated. SMS is a rigorous school in an upper middle class community. It nice to be able to send my daughter to a public school that is safe, has teachers that care and actually provides an education.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 1 2006-07-09 “Either you love it or you hate it. In my case unfortunatly I hated it. I came here from another city and the transfer was hard. It was very hard to make friends because everybody already has there group of friends and doesn't want anyone else I guess you could put it that way. They aren't very accpeting unless you wearing name-brand stuff. The kids are very immature and loud. If you haven't lived here for your entire life you don't belong there. The teachers aren't very understanding. All in all Swampscotts not a good place unless you grew up there.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2005-08-22 “I am not at all happy with this school; I think the teachers really need to take more time with the studuents that are having a harder time adjusting and learning; We were informed by the guidence counselor that poor grades were unacceptable, but yet my son seemed to fail 3 subjets with F's each quarter and he was still promoted: When I inquired about this I was informed by her they don't keep the kids back it's not there problem that they flunked and that's what entering the High School is for, if they can't make the grade and get the points they get kept back; They also inform the child summer school is 'optional'! To me any school that promotes a failing child does NOT have the childs best interest at heart. I'd considner a different school if I were YOU.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2005-05-09 “The SMS is a very good school! Dr. Landman does an amazing job. He knows evry student by name and cares greatly of the school. On the inside the school is decieving because the inside is a warm and safe enviorment. It is truly a great school!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-02-01 “Dr Landman is a gifted Principal. He knows every student and has created a positive and comfortable environment for learning. The teachers do all that they can can help the students to succeed. Don't let the old building fool you,this is a top notch school and I am so glad my son goes there!” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 5 2004-03-25 “Well, I'm not a parent, I'm a former student who moved away one month into the sixth grade. Now I'm in 8th grade here in Florida. I loved the Middle school in Swampscott. It was a safe environment where I could sit with my friends at lunch and could get the proper education needed. I learned a lot there not only about the given subjects but also about life. My teachers took the initiative to help me in my studies as well as the problems I may have faced. I appreciate the efforts they gave and miss the school very much. I hope I can come to visit those (teachers)who cared about me. Sincerely, Kate Sobelman”
