tell me about your school (ct only)
« on: »
any input appreciated - please share what you liked and didn\'t like, about the school you attended as a kid, or your kid\'s school, or your school if you\'re a teacher.  

i\'m particularly interested in anyone who went to east haven and i know there are lots of you, branford, or new haven public schools.  i\'m particularly leaning toward ferrara (staven) or nathan hale (new haven) districts but then east haven has just the one middle school and new haven really falls downhill in higher grades :(.  
i dont like carbone - the building looks like its going to fall down and go figure, momauguin (sp?) has lower test scores.

thanks!

:lol: let me know if they\'re hiring! ;)  West Haven is in the middle of a budget crisis, & layoffs will be an inevitable part of the upcoming year.  :sadban:

i grew up in east haven, but didn\'t go through the school system. I went to catholic school at St. Mary\'s in Branford.  Which I loved.  I was there k -8.  And then went on to private high school at Sacred Heart Academy.  Right there, I know that sounds expensive...however, it really wasn\'t too bad.  (Trust we didn\'t have lots of money).  My mom was on a payment plan for st. mary\'s and then because of my grades, i received scholarships for high school.

I knew some kids who went to the public schools in branford. their school system seemed pretty good.  I honestly would pick branford over east haven schools.  (I think i may have just started a riot).    But thats just me.

I went to K-12 in the West Hartford School System

My HS Conard was in the top 10 public HS in the country at the time and it won that status many years before I was there.

Cannot say better things about the public schools in that town. Not sure what it is like now but I cannot imagine much has changed.

West Hartford also has many private schools. There is Kingswood Oxford, Loomis Chaffee etc etc many a fine school in that area.

It isn\'t that far from Cromwell either
