School Reviews:

  • Recommended April 09,2012 - my ten years from 1982 to 1992 working at Leary School enhanced my life while it enhanced the students entrusted to our care. Now in the twilight of my life at 65 years of age I am more than sure that all children will benefit from the Leary School learning experiences. Mr. Fields, former Crisis Counselor*-Posted by Teacher *
