This is the worst district for special needs. The special needs department is only concerned about saving money. It doesn't matter if you have a diagnosis or testing from hospitals. Special needs department in Dartmouth is getting a horrible reputation. You child will not get the supports here. You will need an attorney

Special education in this district is awful! There is no help for children with disabilities. Children with special needs diagnoses will not receive the help they need.

Too much politics with the school administration and teacher union.

Potter is a wonderful place. Both of my children are happy and well adjusted. The faculty and staff are terrific and go out of their way for each and every child.
