[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any current parents of middle schoolers are John Francis (formerly Francis -Stevens) -- if so, how is it going?[/quote]

Parent of a 6th grader who is new to the school, having attended a Francis feeder for all of elementary.

I think things are going reasonably well. The renovated building is beautiful, spacious, and bright.  The principal is committed and seems to do a good job, and the middle school vice principal seems fine.  Our student has met a nice group of friends and is adjusting socially. Communication is pretty good, with a middle school newsletter going out periodically and giving highlights what is going on. Teachers email families to let them know about forthcoming assignments which is appreciated.  Some of the teachers are great while others are merely so-so, but that is to be expected.  We are likely going to begin supplementing in the spring, starting with math, since our student is ahead in that class and somewhat bored. We may look to do something similar for ELA.  That said geography is a nice class, and our student loves their chorus class.

All in all, things seem pretty good.[/quote]
