[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks, PP. What I have heard and read is that grades 2-5 can be very iffy, meaning that kids do not necessarily get strong grounding in reading, writing, and math. Those are pretty important grades and constitute 4 years of an elementary school education. I've also been told MS math is terrible. We really do not want a pushy academic environment for our child, hence our initial focus on BFCD. We also love BFCD's focus on nature, the environment, and experiential learning. However, we would be concerned if there was no support for DC in "getting ahead" where HE wants to be academically. We want a school that has the resources and teaching acumen to facilitate differentiated instruction while allowing kids to be kids. When the PP poster says BFCD sends kids on to "standard" high schools and colleges, that's not very encouraging and seems to confirm what we've heard about weak academics at BFCD. [/quote]
