If I was a parent with a child with special needs I would not bring my child to brimflied school! I think your child would be better off being home schooled. Most the teacher at brimfield is so nice and very good there are a few that shouldn't be teachers but you'll have that any where.The teachers aren't the problem it is the people who run the school. The school is not adapted to prove the best teaching enviroment for our children, ' normal ' or 'special needs'.

My oldest child graduates from Brimfield Elementry School 6th grade this year. I am currently the Chair of the BES committee and in a unique position to foster and promote not only the essential academic programs but the arts, music and special programs that make our school great. We are fortunate to have a close working relationship with the town finance committee whose chair is very pro-education. We are able to manage our funds and meet the needs of our staff and students, eventhough there are always more needs than funds. Our parent involvment is good, although it sometimes seems it's the same people responding to the need many times. Our children score well on the Mass competency testing and appear well prepared for their movement into the Jr. High School. Our teaching staff is committed and ready to take on any new challenge to educate and prepare our children .

Academically, you couldn't get a better school. Challenging but with plenty of help for students of all abilities. Supplemental classes such as art, gym, music, foreign language are each held once a week to allow more time for core subjects but the kids don't seem to mind. The teachers and staff are top notch. The principal is truly involved with these kids and knows each of them (all 300+) by name. Parent involvement seems to be limited to stay-at-home moms but I think a great deal of that is due to the fact that PTO and most event meetings are held at in the afternoon. I think this alienates working parents but they say it works well for their needs. All in all, it's a great school for your kids.
