Hanscom Middle School

Posted April 14, 2007

I regret that this parent has had a negative experience at Hanscom Middle School. I have just been at the school for the past year and have not found either an anti-military attitude nor one that suggests parents should be honored to send their children to our school. The entire staff recognizes the challenges faced by military families (e.g. deployment, regular geographical relocation) and tries to adapt the program and expectations to the students' needs. Our School Advisory Council is just completing a parent survey about school programs and climate, and I will post the results here when they are available.

I am afraid that I cannot offer many stars for the middle school. I am not impressed with the involvement of the teachers and the principal. The school spirit is the lowest that I have seen through all of my 4 kids schools. There is no school spirit. The students arent involved in much, because there isnt much to get involved in. The academic emphasis is lacking in a serious way and the test scores show it. Parents need to supplement their childs education in order to transition from middle to high school and not have them behind. There arent huge negatives about the school but equally I have nothing overly positive to say about the school. I recommend seeking other options for schooling if you live on base and value a good education.

I would like to thank all the parents from 2007 that finally took a stand against the Lincoln administration and demanded changes after years of being ignored and seeing the continued pattern of decline. Results are a new playground for middle school, new math program, and most important that Lincoln know they will be held accountable and not take advantage of Federal funds. I have been here many years and know the before and after. It did take those parents contacting the Department of Defense in Washington to put a fire under the Lincoln Administrations feet quickly. In the past military families just accepted the system until a group of 2007 parents said, 'Lets change it now for the future kids of Hanscom'. Thank you 2007 Parents. Seeing the before and after, I know now how important parent involment is not only with the teachers but the head administration.
