OP here.  It's hard to sort out the rumors/prejudices from facts.  If you look at their PARCC scores they really did quite well. I have a hard time believing it's terrible.

For comparison (3rd grade classes):

Chamberlain Math:  38% meet/exceed; 1% did not meet
Ludlow Taylor Math:  48% meet/exceed; 2% did not meet
Maury Math:  50% meet/exceed; 13% did not meet

Chamberlain English:  23% meet/exceed; 21% did not meet
Ludlow Taylor English:  46% meet/exceed; 2% did not meet
Maury English:  50% meet/exceed; 17% did not meet

Considering that Chamberlain likely has a much larger % of at risk kids, looks like they are doing something right.  (And what's up with Maury letting so many kids fail BTW?)[/quote]

So...you only care about how well prepared your child will be to pass standardized tests? Is that really your whole basis for selecting a school?

If you are just going to write back any negative things you hear about the school as rumors/prejudices, well then what was the point of this thread?[/quote]

Huh? People cite test scores all the time here, and seem to have some pretty knee-jerk beliefs about some schools.  I'm posting the scores because I think it's noteworthy that Chamberlain clearly has a very strong cohort of students, as evinced by their scores, and I'm wondering if anyone has *actual* knowledge about the school.
