[quote=Anonymous]We are moving up the waiting list for Ross. Can any Ross families provide more specifics about the school?

Thus far we are attracted by:
- the small size of the school/family feel.
- strong classroom communication.
- monthly field trips and project-based learning.
- partnerships with community organizations.
- strong parent organization.

Potential downsides:
- attrition in the higher grades due to the middle school options.
- no science teacher.
- as out of boundary one of perhaps the strong neighborhood feel may be less relevant.

Unknown:
- is the discipline exemplary? Coming from a school where discipline is a major issue, it is important for us to find a school where discipline is not a major issue.
- are science and social studies taught well in the classroom?
- is teacher attrition low and is the quality of the teachers consistently high across grade levels?
- how is the principal?
- is the school good at challenging advanced learners?
- does it ever feel too small a peer group?
