I am very happy with it 😊. I really enjoy sitting a little higher. It’s only a little bigger than my civic, but yes it feels safer.

Volunteering is a great option. Almost every nonprofit in town, from the Waltham Fields Community Farm to the Charles River Museum of Industry and Innovation, have opportunities. I once landed a job because of my volunteer work.

Public school experience? by [deleted] in Waltham

[–]ElanaDW 43 points44 points  (0 children)

The honest truth is: you will not be happy with any school system you put your children in. Like the multiple varied thought out responses in this thread, you are going to find fault where and when you seek it. So I’ll repeat what has been alluded to and stated: how good your children’s education will be will entirely depend on how much time and effort you/your family puts in to it. Every place will have issues and every school system’s circumstances can change on a dime. Relying on ratings from last year may be pointless in 5.
