(3 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - The school has improved a lot over the last few years. The school staff works hard to meet the needs of the students. The students are happy and the school is improving.

(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - The Henry K. Oliver school is possibly the worst school in Lawrence, Massachusetts. The students are misbehaved and there is possibly nothing to do about it. That school has really slowed me down and it's killing me. awful, just awful!

(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Wonderful teaching staff that struggles hard under extreme conditions and horrible leadership. The current principal has dismantled solid programs that worked well with students, has replaced certified teachers strong in their fields with "long-term subs" that lack proper certification, and behaves in a despicable manner unbecoming a professional. Despite the building's age, the Oliver was always "THE place in Lawrence where teachers wanted to be." No longer.

- The teaching staff is great but the place is falling down on itself

- This school was like a family but is extremely run down and in desperate need of repair. I attended the school for five years and have since moved on to a much higher quality school building that all students deserve.
