[quote=Anonymous]Me again, sorry to overwhelm, I'm just trying to think of what would've been helpful for me to know.

All the classes now have smartboards, thanks to a "check for tech" campaign that raised PTA funds.  We were behind a fwe of the other N Arlington schools in the tech area, and are working to catch up on that.  I forget what teh PTA is working on now, but they have a new tech goal.

Some people love the principal, others do not.  She has a strong personality which can turn some people off.  So far she's been nothing but helpful for us (my son is in the SpEd program, so we meet with administrators a lot) so I have no complaints.

I like it and am happy we're attending.  We didn't really consider private, it wasn't in the budget (not after the mortgage on the house to get into the Nottingham district) but overall I can't imagine we'd be much better served other than having all the facilities (cafeteria, gym) better match the size of the school.  The relocatables aren't an issue, the common spaces that can't be enlarged are getting to be one.

As I mentioned above, my son is receiving SpEd services - he's got a learning disability, which we didn't know when we started K - and I can't imagine many private schools (other than Lab) focusing on helping him as much as the folks at Nottingham have - we have received truly stupendous services.

Good luck with your choice.  I think you are lucky enough to be in a position where neither choice will be wrong, it's just a question of what is more right.[/quote]
