Child in first grade at the Mendell and thriving. Academics in the younger grades (which is all I can speak to) are excellent. This will undoubtably show up in test scores at the grade 3 point. Warm classrooms with student teacher ratio of 11:1. Thriving ARTS and science opportunities with a new outdoor classroom which has received national notice. Strong principal and multiple outside partnerships. The after school program is very well run (in conjunction with the Y). Won a "hidden gem" award from BPS. Facilities older and small school but that has positives as well as negatives. Lots of activities
