From the Neighborhood School feature in The Paper, March 1978. Original institutional statements and parents’ opinions are preserved as attributed contemporary accounts.
Neighborhood School has provided for my children and myself a community of students, teachers, parents, (basically the same friendly, concerned group of people during the four years we have been involved,) giving us continuity when there were many changes in our lives. The school is small enough to acknowledge that at one time or another everyone is a “special case” with special educational, emotional, and social needs, and to give us, as parents and children, a choice in how we will meet individual and group needs.
