[quote=Anonymous]We just finished PreK at CCPCS and loved it.   If you have the option, I would definitely take it.

Personally, I do not think test scores are everything and I think that 1 of the reasons why CCPCS does not score as high as some other schools is b/c they do not teach to the test OR spend a ton of time teaching how to take standardized tests (I am saying this from conversations with parents as opposed to 1st hand experience).

Now, they are concerned that the school did not make AYP this past year and put a plan in place to do a series of evaluations throughout the year to see where knowledge gaps were and adjust the curriculum / get additional support as needed.

Will the school change when they move to the new location beginning in the fall of 2012?  Absolutely.  And there will be growing pains.  It is my understanding that they are planning on keeping the mixed age classrooms as this is something that they do in a thoughtful manner.  The parents, teachers and administrators are all conscious of all the changes that will occur.  Right now the lower school is tiny - 1 class per grade.  By adding a 2nd class it will still be small, but will open the school up to other opportunities due to having a critical mass.

I hope you do enroll - I believe it is a special place.[/quote]
