GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Minority students frequently targeted by staff and are under a microscope. Poor communication and leadership from administration. Staff are pretentious.

Our daughter has had a wonderful experience at Helen Keller. Her teachers are approachable and caring. She is involved in many clubs/activists and the school has many opportunities and resources for all students to support their interests and learning levels. She has made a lot of nice new friends and feels safe & happy to go to school everyday. The administration has been warm & welcoming to our family. We are very happy with our decision to move to Easton and send our children to the schools.

I am disappointed with the administration in regards to bullying, it has become out of control here. This is not a welcoming and inclusive school.

My child was new to the school this year and has been warmly welcomed by all. Teachers are very responsive to parents.

The diversity is increasing in the town but the town needs to address the bullying problem toward the students that are new or different.

The school needs more rigor and a supportive learning for all children. My child did not feel emotionally safe at this school.

School quality of instruction is a little below average. Bullying occurs too often, especially towards kids that might be different.
