[quote=Anonymous]We havet a 3rd grader at Watkins and have been generally pleased with Watkins so far. It is concerning that kids move away from Watkins as the grades go on. Unfortunately some of the children who replace the kids that move away are from families that are not engaged in the school as much as the families who "grew up" in Watkins (and Peabody) or come with challenges (behavioral or academic.) None of that would really matter except the administration doesn't believe in discipline. So disruptive kids can impact an entire classroom's ability to learn and little is done about it. Many of the teachers at Watkins are highly qualified excellent educators. The building was remodeled just two years ago and is beautiful. The parent and family community is really outstanding. Stuart Hobson has a new(ish) principal who is outstanding and seems to be doing exciting things at the middle school. Watkins feeds to SH, so there is promise at middle school.[/quote]
