GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The administration tends to try to be helpful and progressive, but the students are incredibly cynical, so much so that the work of the admin is often useless.

Very good and small school. Lunches used to be very good until the chef was replaced. Although school is a bit of a bubble being in such a small town. Class sizes are about 100.

The emphasis on academics achievement is motivating, but sometimes it was overwhelming. Most students strive to get really good grades which can be difficult if you compare yourself to them. Also it can be hard for people with different learning styles to thrive and get the support they need. Other than that, you get a really good education at the Bromfield School.

My child attends Bromfield School. We relocated here from Texas and although it was a little challenging to get used to it has been a great move and we are very please with our childs education so far. I have another child entering this school in the fall.
