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.

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.

This is a delightful neighborhood school. Our daughter went there for kindergarten and we moved to a new town and school choiced back into Bridge Street. The faculty and staff are deeply committed to the students. There is a culture of kindness that permeates. My kids teachers have taught for many many years, one is even in her 29th year teaching the same class at BSS. My child is happy and nurtured. Its small enough where everyone knows her.
