Mystic Valley Regional Charter School
Leah O'Brien: My husband and I recently changed our children over to MVRCS for the current school year. We had heard excellent things about and knew we wanted them there. When we got the call that they had space it was a no-brainer. Not only does the school curriculum exceed our expectations, but the most important thing we have found is that they foster a sense of self confidence in children like no other school i have seen before. This self confidence resonates in my children in only a few weeks of being at this school. I know they will take that and shine in their future at this school!

Mystic Valley Regional Charter School
The charter school doesn't meet the needs of children with moderate learning disabilities. The administration has teaching assistant work directly with students due to being short staff.The classroom ratio from third grade and up is 30 students to one inexperienced classroom teacher. The school is ran like a business. They would rather buy property to expand the school rather than retain teachers and higher their salaries.That doesn't sound like quality education to me!
