[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are in middle ES grades there, since PK3. We are happy and plan to stay through 5th.

I love that people on this message board offer advice on schools they know very little about. Seaton is getting a brand new playground next summer. Cleveland is too. Don’t make decisions about your child’s school based solely on playgrounds for goodness’s sake. And if you do, at least make it based on correct information.

OP, do you have specific questions about Cleveland?[/quote]

Not OP, but we're looking at Cleveland also, specifically the language program (DC is Spanish dominant). In some of the older threads, people mentioned that there is some tension between the language program and the regular program, and that the principal/management is quite weak. Do you think that is the case? Can the parents/administration work with each other, or is there still distrust/lack of leadership? And how does the school deal with differentiation? What do you think about the teachers? Are there significant behavioral problems that disrupt learning?

Compared to other schools in the area (Garrison, Seaton), Cleveland's scores have gone in the wrong direction. Scores aren't everything, but they're a rough proxy for certain things, so that's why it's not on the top of my list. Still, the commute is good for us.

FWIW, a few months ago, I was on the Mall and ran into a group of little kids in Cleveland uniforms, probably on an outing of some sort. The staff seemed quite attentive.

Thanks![/quote]
