Bromfield is quite an amazing and unique public school. Classes are small, the teachers are excellent--bright, creative, motivated to challenge students, and truly care about their students.

The school hired a chef years ago who knows all the kids by name, and who buys local foods, fresh fruits and vegetables, and makes fun, nutritious lunches (Almond-glazed salmon and asparagus for lunch at school???).

Football and cheerleading aren't big at the school but rather track, crew, and the strive to get good grades. The students are well prepared for college (some say 11th grade was tougher.) Bromfield
