Research Elm Street Middle School public Schools in Manchester, New Hampshire

“WAY to many GANGS and fighting kids in that school are stupid,smart,or just don't care!Im very dissapointend thats why i brought my child to fairgrounds they are excellent!”

“I currently attend 7th grade at Elm Street and my teachers are amazing at what they do and my classmates are the brightest kids I know. All in all, Elm is an amazing school with wonderful teachers and clubs and, given the choice, I wouldn't go to any other middle school.”

“yes, there are some fights. Why choose this school? Well, I almost made the mistake of not going. I had a choice and Elm Street was my last-minute decision. It was a wonderful experience and because of the large size and everything, but it was one of the best school years in my experience. Last year, in sixth grade, I had an Excellent team and wonderful teachers. Now I am in seventh grade in a different school district. I like it, but it is definetaly a very different enviroment than in Nashua. My teachers were so amazing at Elm Street, and they had a great influence on me, helping me further discover my writing skills. I do miss Elm Street, and I am so glad I went there last year.”

“I went there and it was friendly and they taught with great hearts.”

“I have been very happy with what Elm Street has had to offer my daughter who is now in 7th grade. I've found all teachers and staff to be very dedicated, polite and professional. There are many choices offered for extra curricular activities too! There seem to be lots of behavior issues, but I hear it is the same at most middle & high schools! As with any school, the more parents, teachers and kids work together, the better!”

“I find this school to be disappointing...but much of that has to do with the attitudes of a few...I do know that many of the teachers are dedicated, and very good teachers--however the curriculum they are given to teach is sorely lacking in many ways. The Math program and Reading program used(the latter is used up through 6th grade) give the students no sense of completion...they are always in transition from one thing to the next.”

“I am very dissapointed with the school. Curriculum seems to be dumbed down to get better results rather than stronger effort in teaching. Teachers need to spend too much time dealing with misbehavior because parents aren't teaching their children to behave properly in school and because of 'mainstreaming' the challenged children neither they nor the rest of the class gets what they should get out of the education process. It has nothing to do with the 25-30 student class size as that was the same when I went to school.”

“I had the pleasure to attend this school as a child, and my daughter currently attends. The teachers are dedicated and have the ability to teach. There are excellent sports and other programs at this school.”
