OP here. Can either of you please elaborate? I did hear negative things from one family, but it might have just been that one class. Which private school nearby would you recommend? I'm looking at Trinity Christian and Merritt Academy. Thank you! |

Sadly I think if you have the money-private is a good option. Even the AAP centers/school are not great these days. |

| The new principal at DRES seems great! Hopefully good times ahead for the school. |

Principal can't fix the school. Private if you can afford! I wish I could. Next best option is to sell your house and buy is a decent pyramid. Still not like private but some are pretty good and much less expensive than private if you do the math. |

| What are you seeking, OP? It’s a walkable neighborhood school with a nice pool community. Diverse. High FARMS. LLIV but few stay for it. |

OP here. Why do few people stay for the level IV AAP? Are people's experiences so bad that they pull their kids before 3rd grade? |

I suspect that the poster meant was that the kids accepted into AAP move to the Center and do not stay at DRES for the LLIV program. |

| Parent of a former DRES, now AAP center student here. In my child's grade, more Level IV designated kids stayed at DRES than left for Mosaic. The school generally has a friendly, chill vibe. Lots of overlap for the kids between local pools, FPYC sports, City playgrounds which makes for an old-fashioned community feel. ESOL/FARMS #s are significant, but the behavior cases we encountered were never from that population. We left for stronger academics and less reliance on screens, but TBD whether we'll find that at the center school. |
