Countryside Elementary School

Curriculum lags behind other schools in the area. psychological bullying is an issue and as early as 3rd grade kids are expected to be wearing A&F and Aeropostale. Kids without real Uggs are made fun of. The teachers are trying but the school is over crowded. The school doesn't have a kitchen so the school lunches are shipped in from outside, have to be purchased ahead of time, don't seem all that nutritious, and you can't go eat lunch with your child. Overall, I am not impressed with this school, but it satisfies the minimum qualifications. The building is very old and needs renovating badly.

This is a great school in a good neighborhood in MA. Teachers are excellent and experienced. Principal is highly supportive.

Seemingly good school in a fundamentally high acheiving school district. Could use renovation. My experience is staff could benefit from real diversity training. Cultural awareness goes a long way in being able to properly teach & respond to students-

I think Countryside is a very stong school in terms of curriculum, leadership and of course its teachers. The afterschool program is excellent!

Really old school premises. Poor afterschool program. A lot of 'school participation' hidden changes.
