[quote=Anonymous]I have two kids at Claremont. One is going into 2nd and the other is going into 5th. We really love the school. My 5th grader has gotten really good in Spanish. I also really love the community. The PTA does a lot to help those that are less fortunate. For example, there is a food pantry, a winter clothing drive and a gift drive during the holidays. The school also plans on doing a lot of fun social events this year to bring us back to "normal" hopefully it is a fun year!

As for academics, I have heard that it can be hard for kids that sufferer learning disorders. For example, math is in Spanish. If your kid is struggling in math, part of it might be because they are struggling in Spanish. However, the state is not required to provide a Spanish resource teacher and the school doesn't have the budget to provide one. So any additional Spanish help your kid needs would need to be done with private tutors.

That being said, my kid is on the other side of the spectrum. Gifted services appear alright, nothing too special. My kid was getting pull out services last year for English. For math, he just works with a classmate that is at his level. I don't think this is just a Claremont problem though (just how APS manages gifted work at the ES level).

I think a fair amount of kids continue immersion in MS. At least all my eldest's friends are planning to go to immersion. I know the official numbers are in some APS document somewhere (but have no idea how to find it lol)
