[quote=Anonymous]Our kid is finishing up this year and absolutely loved it.  The teachers were great and very capable, although be prepared (you, the parent) to take a big step back if you've really been involved with your kids school up to this point.  They really make it a point to let the kids manage their schedule and workload.  It's an adjustment from coasting through earlier grades but they pick up the pace quickly.  The music program is fantastic.  Dr Fozio teaches instrumental music at several different schools but is really great with the kids.  In fourth grade they their gemstone project to put on an opera (it's more of a play) where they write the music and dialog, create the costumes and design the sets and even manage everything from lighting to PR.  It was pretty cool to see kids from 20 different schools come together so cohesively.  We really liked the administration, some people have differing opinions of the principal, but I loved her.  The PTA is ok... the PTA board puts in a lot of work but they get almost no support from the parents.

Everyone starts out as the new kid, so there is some trepidation going in, but that works itself out quick enough.  My kid made a lot of good friends.  Some will be moving on to the same middle school, others not, but I think those relationships will remain strong. Really good kids in the program from our experience.

So, bottom line... would my kid want to do it again?  100 times out of 100.

I can't believe how fast it flew by.
