This is a small school with that enough cannot said about it. From the office staff to the teachers to the aides. It is where parents can be sure their kids are getting all they need. Also the YMCA (if needed) is right there and enough cant be said for the young adults who care for your kids before or after school. This school is important to our town and our kids future. Alden Primary is a great foundation for our childrens future education.

It's been a very positive experience from the teachers, staff and principal to the curriculum and extra help programs. Teachers are very positive, creative and nurturing. I'm very glad my son's first experience was at Alden Primary as the environment was very supportive.

Top notch teaching staff and programs. Parents are warmly welcomed into the classroom and to events. I can't rave enough about the emphasis on quality!

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

Test scores

Oops! We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Public and charter school test scores for most states come from the state Department of Education. The most common reasons we might not have this data are either that not enough students took the test or that the school was recently opened, and its scores have not yet been reported.
