[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't recommend Lowell right now, or at least until they clean their administrative house. They have a lot of things to sort out in that department. Drama aside, their MS academics also leave a lot to be desired. There is some solid teaching happening there, but potential is limited by an administration that can't seem to get out of its own way. [/quote]

Admin is just super nasty, especially to teachers behind closed doors and to parents who raise issues. They're also not good educators. They seem to be concerned first and foremost with shutting down any sort of discourse that could be perceived as a challenge, which has a chilling effect on all aspects of the school's culture. Many, many talented teachers and great families have left over the past six or seven years as a result. One administrator is currently embroiled in controversy over his/her treatment of a thirteen year-old sexual assault victim when she reported what a fellow classmate had done to her. She has become an advocate for sexual assault victims and posted about her experiences at the school. One such post went viral on Instagram, which is why the school had to take their faculty and board lists off their website and disable comments on their social media accounts. The school is also reckoning with a very serious string of bullying incidents in one grade. Questions have arisen about why problematic students were admitted in the first place, and why the school didn't take more action once they had been advised about serious harm being done. Seems the board can't or won't do anything about these situations so they continues to fester. Not a good place.
