What school district is Trotter Elementary School part of?
The School is unorganized and unprofessional. The staff does not care about the students. Those children can not strive at the Trotter Elementary School in Dorchester. I strongly believe if you want your children to succeed and reach their highest potential you must get your child out of that school immediately, Do not hesitate. The MCAS Scores and how the school improved in one year, after the principal had to make a few changes, as far as letting teachers go. Think about it very carefully. It only took only one year for the school to improve. MCAS scores went up drastically. No the staff changed the answers and help the students to cheat, to save the school so that everyone can continue to receive a pay check. That is why the schools is now they "say is one of the best school". How in one year all the students at the Trotter did so well on the MCAS?
