Niche User: We lived in Bridgewater for several years and left to be near family. Now that our kids are all school-aged, we’re heading back! We miss the tight knit community with unique homes on beautiful land. The schools are great and the town is welcoming. Time slows down in town, which is great for day to day life, but you have neighboring communities with a lot to do just minutes away. You can even head into New York for just the day. It’s a small, but awesome, place to call home.... Read 4 reviews

Parent: My children have been attending Riverdale for the past 7 years and we have been extremely pleased with the level of education our little ones receive. The teachers are knowledgeable and caring, the classes are small, and the administration is responsive. Your child isn’t just a number at Riverdale, they’re family.

Current Resident: It's a quaint town filled with very humble and community-focused people. It's the stereotypical "New England Small Town," with small businesses and general stores.

Current Resident: I love this town with everything I have in me. The community is incredible. You become really close with your neighbors, and those who live around you. The friends you meet at the corner store, the church, or even the local Christmas tree farm are ones for life. Not only that, but it's gorgeous. A very small town, definitely in the woods, but it's so beautiful. The fresh air and the fowers in the summer, or watching the snowfall in the winter. Either way, it's a place to fall in love with. Everyone knows everyone, which is really sweet. There are many different outdoor attractions nearby, such as waterfalls and state parks. Warren is a perfect little town that I have loved growing up in.... Read 4 reviews

Current Resident: My family and I have lived here for 10 years, and have 2 young children in Botelle. This is genuinely a wonderful town. It is somewhat remote, but idyllic in setting and feel. There is no local work, ( unless you want to open a business) and you will have to travel. Norfolk is however, the type of town you want to raise your family in. The school has lost a lot of funding from the state, but teachers and staff do genuinely care about student well being, and the town is no different. Winters can be harsh, making the work commute tricky at times. The cost of living here can be high.... Read 2 reviews

Parent: I love everything about Templeton Academy! They are very supportive of my son's challenges and provide it when needed. The teachers are team players with the parents as well. The project based curriculum is awesome! It gives the students the chance to learn to work as a team and also use critical thinking skills. The class schedule is unique as well where the student will take 2 courses per semester for 10 weeks and still get all their required credits. Even though school is virtual right now, my son has met some friends. Oh and the class sizes are nice and small. Another thing I love about Templeton is how they praise the accomplishments of their students. My son is featured on their social media pages for winning 2 scholarships for being a philanthropist. I highly recommended Templeton Academy for a middle and high school choice. You won't be disappointed!... Read 28 reviews

Junior: Woodberry has been the best decision I have ever made. The teachers are second to none at offering their assistance to students who have trouble studying or do not understand the ideas they teach. At Woodberry, academic success is less about the grades and more about the spirit you develop when tackling problems. Being at Woodberry has taught me that the best way to problem solve is to meet the adversary head on and not be afraid to fail. At Woodberry, failing after attempting something challenging is met with compassion and teachers who are more than happy to help you up again and give you another shot.... Read 38 reviews
