"Good school with some areas for improvement"

We've been at Mabel Prichard School for a few months now and overall we're happy with the experience. The teachers are nice and the facilities are okay, but we're not entirely convinced by the preparation for adulthood program. We also feel that communication with parents could be better. Still, we're hopeful that the school will continue to improve and we're willing to give it more time.

"A great school with a heart of gold"

We were at Mabel Prichard School for three years and had a wonderful experience. The staff are incredibly dedicated and the facilities are top-notch. We especially appreciated the way the school supported our child's transition to adulthood, preparing them for life after school. We're so grateful for the time our child spent there.
