My son has had an excellent experience and the music program is incredible. As a parent who takes an interest in my child's education I believe that this school does a very nice job. The Physical plant is spectacular and 3 years old in 2020.

if you have a choice, do not send your children here. Besides the toxic environment; they are proud of the fact that most kids are in the special classes for mcas help. That speaks loudly about the elementary education in Scituate to me!!!
