Lawrence School Reviews

Despite complaints from other people, I have seen the difference in education between Brookline and other school districts and feel it's worth the investment to live here. I do think it's easy to fall behind if you are not very active with the teachers. My advice to the school administration is that they need to enforce that all teachers keep up with Canvas as much as they expect students to turn in materials in a timely manner. I feel they're compensated enough to have a wide range of skills or teachers helpers to ensure they provide the students with these necessary tools.

Lawrence is a great school full of excellent teachers and great resources. That is, until you reach middle school. The administration has done nothing to fix the abysmal student environment plaguing a school with great potential. As much as they claim to have a "safe, just, and caring community", bullying and harrassment are rampant among the students. Parents, this is a great place to send your children for elementary. Just, do them a favor and pull them out before middle school.
