Galvin Middle School Reviews


Posted By: student Quality Score: decline 2009-04-13 “I go to the Galvin and I am disguested. I am bored with this school and they deffinatly gear all of the classes towards the kids who need more help. I am not one of those kids. I have high honners in every subject and love to learn. The thing is, Im not learning anything! After the first two days of learning about something I understand it and am ready for new information, but the problem is they stay on that same topic for days and sometimes weeks! Maybe its just my teachers that I have had the past 3 years but I dislike Galvin very much for those reasons. The only thing I like is the Physical Education program for the 7th and 8th graders. Mr. T and Mrs.Stevenson make it fun even if your not into sports.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 4 2009-03-27 “Good school, yeah, it could use work, but what school doesn't. Much better than both elementary schools I went to and it's nice how all the kids meet each other, unlike Elementary where there were five different schools. 5th grade was definitely the toughest, adjusting to the whole new atmosphere. I am in seventh grade and I mentor a fifth grader and plan on doing it next year. I think it has many good programs including the Mentoring, MCAS Prep, a great special ed program and many others. They make the special ed kids feel welcome and encourage us to, too.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-07-01 “Parent of a fifth grade student. Love mrs. Winters! The best! a quality person as well as a caring educator.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2007-06-23 “They have a ton of nice teachers!” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 5 2006-04-08 “Best teachers: Mr. Pavey, Mr. Pappalardo, Mr. Crispo, Ms. Sharp, Ms. Reagan, Mrs. Maggiore. The overall experience at the Galvin was great --- the mentoring program was excellent. The education was good, the easiest grades were 5,7,8 --- for some 6th grade was the most challenging.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-10-26 “My oldest son spent 4 years at the Galvin and I currently have a 6th grader at the Galvin so I have been involved for 5 years. My initial experience was less that great as my older son has Asperger's and it was struggle to get him appropriate services. I was forced to hire and advocate. That done, the school came around and my son began to succeed. My sixth grader is in the basic skills program for math and reading and integrated for all other glasses. He is doing great and really loves his school and all his teachers. I have great communication with his teacher and in my experience, all teachers but one were very caring and easy to work with towards my sons' success. (The exception has since retired.) Both sons attend Mr. West's strategy club which involves model building and battling. (They don't care for sports.)” Posted By: former student Quality Score: decline 2005-02-03 “No, they're not supposed to be 2 different schools, not since like 1998 when the two combined and they changed the name to Galvin MIDDLE school, eliminating the Galvin Jr. High, and Atwell School aspect of it. And it's good for the younger kids to get exposed to the older ones.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2004-09-17 “Atwell and Galvin are suppose to be 2 seperate schools but are not. 5th and 6th graders are still exposed to 7th and 8th. Not a good setup at all. This grandparent does not like the idea at all.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 4 2004-05-12 “I Agree GMS is a awsome School and is very committed to it's students and Mr. Pavey and Mr. Papalardo Rock!” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2004-01-06 “Ms. Raymond is the best teacher. I loved her, it was Ms. Raymond's first year at the galvin, and she loved us and cared for us very much! It's a shame that we had to move on to 7th grade but the teachers in 7th grade are awesome too. Like Mr. pappalardo and Mr. Pavey!”
