If you have school-aged children, stay away from Saugus and its public school system. This…read moreelementary school is okay academically, but is extremely biased, favoritism, and discriminating. Teachers take sides of parents they favor and reflect it towards their students. Those deserving students who earn and achieve honors, volunteer, and show their enthusiasm towards school and learning, fail to get rewarded, while those who do not do as well and do not participate get all the accolades based on teacher-parent relationships and not on the student's abilities. This seems to be a pattern in the Saugus school system.

Can I take a second to say how annoying Mr. Mirasolo is? I've put up with him for three years, and…read moresince we only have a few weeks left, I don't care how much trouble I get in for saying this, he's really obnoxious. We had to go to German class to 7B team and then to German again, only to find him there to make us go to the gym. Now i'm sitting with my legs crossed in the gym while people around us are playing volleyball, typing on my computer. I had to bring a clipboard so I could work on my paper stuff. This isn't the first time he's done this, either. Once in art class in 6th grade we had to finish an important project, and he took us to the gym so we couldn't do it. They're cutting so many teachers, and yet not him. That's stupid. Mr. Mirasolo is an incompetent substitute teacher beyond words. Now people literally have to duck their heads to avoid being hit by volleyballs. I've been quiet about him for so long, and now I'm just going to let everyone know what an obnoxious little schwein he can be. He could be worse, but he could also certainly be better. Last time he subbed for our German class, he never even showed up. We just handled ourselves and we were fine. And you know what? That was actually better than sitting doing my work in the gym. We were better off without him. When I complained about being in the gym, he said, "Oh, why are you so upset?" or something else along those lines in the most annoying way. Maybe I'll get in trouble for writing this, but I'm going to be honest and let everyone know just how fed up I am about being quiet about all the jerks in this world. The federal government is being awful, they're cutting a ton of teachers for Fiscal Year 2026, and I'm finally telling everyone. America is not great. It is being terrible. So this is what I think of you, Mr. Mirasolo, if you wanted to know my opinion of you after me silently being irked at you for all these years. I hope other people appreciate my rant.

The curriculum is fantastic- our kids learned so much! They also get outside everyday and do awesome crafts. The school offers many special classes (our kids' favorite was cooking class, from a real chef!)

The leadership team is excellent to work with and they run a tight ship. I wish we could stay there forever!

The Phoenix School was life-changing for my son. He had really struggled at his old school, and had…read morebegun to internalize negative messages about himself. But once he started at the Phoenix School, things turned around. He came home after the first day and said, "It's like the teachers aren't even teachers--they're just people!" The caring relationship with his teachers, the community at the school, the way his teachers push him to do more than he thought he could and support him as he learns to push himself has been amazing. He loves school now and is thriving academically, socially, and emotionally. The way they integrate learning across all their activities is special. Students learn all the academic skills throughout all their activities, along with specialized practice in, say, math or writing, especially as they get older. They also use the community at large as their classroom with frequent out-of-the-classroom learning experiences that engage students far more than anything I've seen at any other school. Teachers support students as they produce high-quality work, with autonomy and ownership over their own learning. Teachers are among the most dedicated professional educators I've ever met. They work hard to create a community of students, faculty, staff, parents, and community members dedicated to the well-being and education of students as complete people. It's not possible for me to say enough good things about this school.
