[quote=Anonymous]I am not aware of bullying from what my daughter tells me, but I would be shocked if it doesn’t happen given that this is middle school. My daughter has made a solid group of friends beyond those she knew in ES. She does make clear that there are kids at school who are not at all engaged in the academics, and it sounds like there is some wild behavior particularly in the hallways between classes. This hasn’t bothered her. She ignores them and moves in. But I think some kids can get pulled into the drama.

In terms of academics, there are enough students in all her classes who are engaged that they are fine for her. And there are advanced cohorted classes in math and social studies, as well as pretty challenging language classes. And learning how to get organized, study for tests, and build executive functioning has been a big focus for her, beyond the academics of individual classes.

I have been happy with the administration, which seems engaged, professional, and responsive. It’s not a perfect school, but it has been a pretty solid middle school experience thus far.

Happy to answer other questions you may have.[/quote]
