My experience with The Howard School has been the best. They offer so many opportunities that helps us in the future. The bond and love within the school is amazing. The staff and faculty members are very helpful and supportive. The teachers makes the best out of every assignment and makes sure we understand them completely. They even offer one on one time with students in need of extra help. The Howard School has brought me so many memories and opportunities than I could think of.

It was pretty decent besides the way they chose to discipline and handle situations. They definitely are the one to pick sides even if you inform them of who started. You would be the one to get blame when you're trying to make sure drama doesn't occur

I am a parent but am in school for Elem Education. I am interested in student teaching here so I have been starting basic research on the school. I was wondering if anyone can shed light on why they have a 51% suspension rate for students with disabilities.... I find that concerning.

The leadership is awesome and goes beyond the call of duty to support the staff and students. I am a Retired Educator and served as an Interventionist for the Transition Academy at Bethlehem Center.
