[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Greatschools is basically just a rehash of test scores.  It doesn't tell you anything about lower grades.  We are having a great experience for PK3 and PK4.[/quote]

No doubt you are having a good experience bc that's not really "school" it's just care taking with some academic stuff thrown in. It's not hard to have a fabulous experience in preschool.

Parents who leave low rates schools for higher rates schools almost always say the same - they thought their low rates school was great bc they didn't know anything else. Once in a higher rates school, they then understood and saw the difference.[/quote]

If bu "academic stuff" you mean [b]reading at the 1st grade level by the end of PK3[/b], then sure.  I do want to move her into a better middle school feeder, but PK3 exceeded my expectations and was far better than the reputation of the school overall.[/quote]

NP. Who wants that for their kid? Not age appropriate. That's actually the main problem I have with my kid doing PK at a school serving lots of disadvantaged kids - academics being pushed too much too early. It's not going to put your kid ahead of those who went to a play-based preschool by the time it counts.[/quote]

It was Tools of the Mind.  I did not seek it out, but that is what happened.  DD loves her school and never felt pushed.  Plenty of other kids that we are friends with, do not read.  I am just saying, they made sure she got taught at her level and she thrived.[/quote]
