Kindergarden classes are not crowded as grades 1 - 6. Teachers are very good. My child has had a very positive beginning to schooling at Sargent. Diversity appears to be celebrated. I remain ambivalent about keeping my child in this school past kindergarten if more money is not allocated to bring student ratios down. I feel like I was sold lies by real estate agent in re: schools here. Sargent and the high school are physically beautiful, but town has serious budget woes that have hurt student teacher ratios.

The teachers at this school are great, but the classes are still too large. School committee needs overhaul. Town needs more support from state. Until that happens, schools will suffer here in NA.

Don't be fooled by the real estate agents. This is the most overcrowed school in town - a town which is suffering severe fiscal issues. Class sizes are now up to 35:1. The town does not support the school systems and there is a strong elders vs familes conflict in NA.

The PTO does a lot of things for our school such as Ice Cream Socials and Art Fairs. Our spaecials are going down though. We have lost computer lab and maybe 5th grade music. We now have music and art on a cart this 2006-2007 year.
