Stafford School

This school did not get a 4 because it's good.However, the good news is the Magnet schools are good and Bristol's poor CMT scores have caused them to be uncapped to Bristol students. I expect this not to be published since everyone commenting likes Mrs Cassin. I am well aware that that is not the case. My daughter now attends a magnet school with 41 Bristol students in Hartford and her CMT scores have substantially increased,even though she missed 10 days. Her school is a silver school,top 5% in the US,while only Bristol Central is silver in Bristol.She has a book report due every month and she knows her time table because they drilled her in fourth grade,unlike Bristol.She comes home dancing and singing. I can trust them not to let her outside in the rain. Through her magnet school, she went to Starbase in fourth grade and Discovery Center Camp at the YMCA in Woodstock,CT this year. Who knows what next year holds.She liked her teachers at both Stafford and the Magnet school. Disciplinary problems are in both, so she's learning to cope. She has 3 more years until highschool.We're looking for a good fit Magnet school, maybe Trinity.Magnet schools start in preschool.

I have no issues to report. My kids enjoy the staff here. Parent involvement is very important.

My daughter is in second grade at Stafford Elementary, love this school, the best in town!!! Great teachers and the principal is great with the kids. I feel my daughter is on top academically because of the reading and math programs.

I have had two boys through this school and I can't tell you enough how wonderful the teachers are! Especially 4th & 5th grade. Mrs. Cassin is great with the kids and has many spirit events to bring the children,parents and teachers together. Best teachers- best school!
