| What are the stats on student/family retention? What %s of students return to each grade over the last 2 years? In the past that was a major issue, families might have liked it there but they played the lottery and jumped ship first chance they got. So that's something I wanted to ask when I considered attending their open house. |

| Their retention is over 80% now, and they are fully enrolled. |

| We are potentially interested in Sela. For pre-k3, what is the average ratio of students to teachers? |
Anonymous
I think each class is 16-17 kids with a primary and assistant teacher |

Nope - it's 20 kids in each pre-K class, with 2 teachers, and "English" teacher and a Hebrew teacher. So it's a 10:1 ratio. |

| I was disappointed with the facility...dark and so little outdoor space. I was also a little confused by the leadership vs. the Hebrew speaking staff. I.e., it wasn't clear why the leadership was particularly interested in Hebrew immersion? |

| ^^ I should note that everyone did seem friendly, enthusiastic, and the teachers engaged. |

Do families stay past prk?? Is it reasonable for a student to join in K or 1st and not get lost in academics?? For example if they do not know Hebrew yet will the be lost in the Math or subjects taught in Hebrew? Or are non of the other subjects taught in Hebrew?
Is the PTO very active and welcoming to all families? |
