There are a number although few of very kind and engaged staff at the Deerfield. The behavioral issues by far outweigh the daily experience of a child. Staff is not consistent or engaged in handling such matters. There is a lot of bullying and lack of respect from the students.

Great MCAS strategies help and kindness, Mrs McCartty is definitely the best second grade teacher I've known and my sons favorite teacher. Ms. Greene is also a exceptionally wonderful kindergarten teacher... I was so happy when I met her and felt great having my son in Deerfield School in Westwood!

Not the best of schools for westwood. The principal alan cameron was unfazed at the fact my child was put on the wrong bus on the first day of kindergarten. If your child has special needs look elsewhere as they are not willing to accomodate.
