[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We put our daughter there in 3rd grade (we are French) and she was miserable. The teacher was great but there was a lot of bullying and the school does not care about it. 
One example: one of the girls was really mean to my daughter and other kids and the school ignored it because she was the daughter of some diplomat. The dad got into trouble a year later and made headlines because of corruption issues, quite a family! Also, my daughter is small for her age and some of the staff were making fun of her saying she should go play with the 1st graders. We took her out and she's been thriving at her new school.
But some families had better experiences than us, do your research.

How long ago was this, out of curiosity?  The school was pretty responsive to a bullying issue re: my child recently.[/quote]
That was 3 years ago, and we were not the only ones. I am glad to hear they handle that issue better. At the time my daughter was so miserable she was losing her hair.[/quote]

PP here—I’m so sorry to hear that!  Tbh, it’s possible that they’re variable in how they handle bullying—last year we had a situation that was handled decently but not perfectly, while this year another brief situation was handled immediately and extremely well.  Although, I have yet to hear of any school where bullying is [u]consistently[/u] handled well.  We have prior experience with a public school with a good reputation, but where this was also a complaint of some parents in upper grades.

In any case, glad to hear you’ve found a better fit for your daughter.  Our kid has had wonderful teachers thus far, and is pretty happy socially overall, but I realize Rochambeau is not the best fit for everyone.[/quote]
Bullying can be very tricky to handle but in our case they just ignored it. [/quote]
