[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great school. Competition is centered in the magnet, not the regular school.[/quote] I don't have personal or direct experience with Cold Spring, but from what I've read here, it's possibly more focused on academics than other ES.[/quote] It’s a very achievement oriented community. Obviously the peer group (and parent group) varies year to year. Some grades can be more intense than others.The pressure comes from the kids/parents not the staff though. While some parents/kids are way over the top, we chose to ignore it. Classes are small most years. When we were there, 90% of the teachers were really excellent. Over 12 years and 3 kids, we only had 2 we didn’t like. 1 of them is long gone and the other teaches in the magnet so they can be avoided. The big negative is the building is in bad shape. It should have been torn down a decade or two ago. And the open classrooms aren’t a great setup for kids with ADHD. [/quote]
