Biddeford Primary Elementary School
cynthia: It is a school of ignorant teachers who dont care a lick about education.They are frustrated because of their lack of ability to actually teach instead of demand and bully.Thank God we took my nephew out of that school.He is now happy and well adjusted in his new school and is actually exceeding in his studies.The teachers there do not watch the children on the play ground and there are alot of bullies there,whom the teachers turn a blind eye to.Allowing children to get hurt and when they fight back are held down in a manner that is dangerous by the teachers.I would never put a child of mine in the Biddeford elementary schools there,ever!.

Biddeford Primary Elementary School
This school is horrible. I just transferred into the school system with my children and my children are doing work that they were doing in their school last year. I attempt to communicate with teachers, I never hear back. It is as though they think I don't have a voice. And NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND ha ha Maine's funding is so horrible that if a child is remotely close to teetering on the edge, they let it go until your child is falling behind or showing failure. I hate the school and they system that supports it and would have avoided it at all costs had I known.
