[quote=Anonymous]Current Nottingham K parent here. Class size is 21. Really fantastic teacher...not sure if they're all this good though! Yeah, the parents are mostly type-A, but the plus side is that the PTA is very active--meaning tons of iPads for the kids to use, a gorgeously-landscaped courtyard. I toured a few of the other elementary schools in Arlington, and Nottingham is beautiful and full of light (a lot of the other schools were oddly dark).

The principal does have a strong personality, as the PP mentioned, but she is very dedicated to student success. I don't think she has much of a life outside of school! Nottingham also has a fantastic assistant principal.

I've been really impressed with the quality of instruction. My kindergartner was a reluctant student but is now reading and writing and spouting all kinds of facts. I have to think this is in part because the school-readiness of the kids...the teachers were able to plow through the material without too much remediation, which makes Nottingham different from many of the south Arlington schools (I have heard this directly from teachers, I'm not trying to start a class war).

We didn't consider private because we purposely moved into this neighborhood for the public schools. [/quote]
