I have two boys who go to Fessenden and they absolutely love this school. It is small, but a nice school. I believe they focus more on reading, spelling, and vocabulary which is good, however, I do wish they focused on math a little more, as my 2nd grade is lacking a little in his math skills, yet excelling in reading. My Kindergartner has a wonderful teacher and he is reading on a 2nd grade level right now, which is awesome! So, overall this is a good school.

This school has come such a long way since it changed principals. The focus is all about the students. They have all kinds of after school programs now that get the kids involved and excited about learning. The staff is held to high standards and the improvement really shows. I highly recommend Fessenden to anyone who is looking for a small, country-style school where everyone is courteous and friendly.

Fessenden is a great little school. My sons have 2 of the best teachers at this school. They are aware of each students weakness and strengths and work at these to make successful school years. My sons' teachers truly care about the students and their successes. In fact, these 2 teachers measure their success on the quality of educations received by each student. They work for and with the students. All of the faculty at Fessenden is great, from administration, noninstruction, to instructional. This place has the feeling on one big family and have found a way to make the students feel comfortable.

By doing it in the funnest way possible,we have to make it exciting for them. Maybe reward them after they are done AND DID THERE BEST. Parents must be totally involved.

You shouldn't, have a study hall if they need help. When you learn you need a teacher, students can study on their own time.
