Sangster LIV

Anyone willing to speak about the student culture at Sangster, especially for someone coming in as an AAP transfer? Is it too much of a pressure cooker? Is there a sense of community?

I’ve had kids as transfers to Sangster for AAP IV for the past 7 years. Our base school is fine, but I much prefer Sangster. I have not found it to be a pressure cooker. I like that the kids are aware of grades and strive to get good grades. Perhaps this causes some kids to stress out, but mine are not. I like the administration and find them to be very responsive, involved, and fun. The AAP teachers we’ve had range from absolutely amazing to standard with no issues.

I do not feel the same sense of community there as I did at our base school. I’m sure it’s there for the families that are zoned there, but I have not made a ton of connections with Sangster families. My kids have friends and love it, but I still kinda feel like a stranger there. But I do not feel that our base school offers a comparative education experience.

Overall, I highly recommend it.

We moved our kids to Sangster and have no regrets

Two kids - neither have felt like it was a pressure cooker. It is not our base school but I think if you got involved went to all of the activities there you would think there was.

I have 3 kids and my older two went to sangster - and they did not offer LLIV at our base at that time. I would have kept them at our base if they offered LLIV mainly due to sibling reasons.

My kids attended Sangster….one started 3rd grade AAP from out of state without a full time GT program. He adapted seamlessly. My other tested in and his transition was also smooth.

I found AAP to heave less homework than grades 1 and 2. I loved the school.
