The most inept football coach in all of Manchester CT works at this school (Lawrence Nevins) is the most incompetent person my wife and I have had to deal with I think in our entire lives. He is a person who is always right and never makes a mistake even when the same team members steal from his teammates or bully teammates in front of his face. This inept is one of those who join the bullying with the other teammates mocking instead of putting a stop to and teaching them how to respect their companions. My question is what kind of academic preparation has an inept like this. This coach is a joke and his freshman football program is along with him.

The school district as a whole has a lot to offer all children. Great resources especially for lower-income families. Creative teachers. Unfortunately the district is being led by inexperienced leaders who lack the understanding of different cultures. The superintendent positioned administrator who he can control and not allow autonomy. Hence the reading and math scores. If they are low how is it that the graduation rate is 91%? Parents beware...

Your school is fantastic in everyway possible. My parent will not let me attend but I have dreamed of attending your school for 4 years now. I am really hoping to convince my mother into letting me attend in the fall. Keep up the fabulous work.
