Stacy Middle School

One of my children attended Stacy school and another currently is there. Both my kids love Stacy school. I believe a school is successful when there is a mutual commitment between the parent and the teachers/school. I get involved with the school (and i work full time) and the programs and speak with my childrens teachers so I know exactly where they stand. I appreciate their honesty and feel they challenge the children. I have been very impressed with this school. I have friends in other town school districts and hear that they aren't really impressed with their schools, homework, mcas preparation etc. I feel Stacy does a really good job with this. Thank you.

I was let go during paternity leave, after receiving an evaluation (for the months I was gone) that was virtually identical to my previous positive evaluation, with the words "not" and "hasn't" inserted into previously glowing comments. The principal has referred to herself as "the Puppetmaster" to me, casually. Their special education programs are hopelessly inadequate, with few resources for small group instruction, including no classroom for these students. For these reasons, I would not recommend this school for potential teachers, and if you are a parent of a student with special needs, I would look elsewhere for their education.

Stacy is a great school it is safe and everyone there loves you the minute you walk in

I go to this school and I love it. The teachers are the best teachers I could ask for. They try their best to get you to understand something. This school is just simply amazing.

My 2 children have attended the school, I can say that I have never formally met their teachers due to the ridiculous turn out at parent/teacher nights. I waited in line for more than half an hour to get in to see one teacher. The other lines were too long and teachers seemed flustered. The amount of non english speaking immigrants is hindering our children's learning. Mandatory Spanish classes for the English speaking children does not seem to bridge the gap of communication. When I call the office they are snappy and treat you as if you are calling on a grown man, checking in on him.

This school is overall is rather good in providing good enrichment programs. The problem is we are looking at the children who are already ahead of others. Perhaps it would be benificial to have more extra help sessions to raise the academic achievement level of students. Many have also meantioned the principal who has canceled more than twenty-five percent of school dances and socials because they are not avalible enough. As I remember we had only two of those events for my class this year, unlike the five that were already set up two years ago. The adults with higher authority than the general teachers expect respect and they have a right to it. Though my piers feel they cannot show respect until the person asking for it has proven themselves worthy. Proving themselves by respecting us for individuals and young adults. Still they treat us as children.

I am not impressed with the school. I know many kids that need help in core curriculum English, math and science, but are made to take Spanish every student in 5th and 6th grade. Think about it a kid has a hard time spelling in english, and now he is expect to learn to spell words in Spanish also. Lets get them proficient in English first. The pricipal has cut phys ed to only 60 times a year, and now because MCAS score are so low in Milford, kids are pulled from there 60 days of phys ed to participate in extra MCAS classes. Some kids get less than 50 days of Phys ed.

Great teachers for the most part. Im not very fond of the current principal. She is too strict and mean. This school however, is great. Academics are excellent, there are many great extracurricular activities in a great setting. I enjoyed going there.

All three of my children have gone to this school. I have been very impressed with the entire staff. They have gone above and beyond the duty academically and have always been inspirational and supportive of my children. All three of my kids are different as far as learning skills go. This has proved to me that all of the teachers are versatile and skilled with all levels of children. My hat off to all of you!
