[quote=Anonymous]Not Janney or Murch, but we did switch from independent to Stoddert for 4th and 5th grades. I think the biggest plus was that Stoddert is only slightly larger than the school we came from (Two fourth grade classes vice one fourth grade class). So the size of the school was manageable and not overwhelming for my son. I was initially worried b/c he needs extra help with reading and I wanted to make sure he had extra help at school and they were very willing to accommodate. I was very happy with his 4th grade teacher, lots of communication. 5th grade has been good, teacher is a little more hands off, but a very good teacher. All in all it was a very good transition for my son. However, my daughter went from a one classroom 6th grade to a 300 student 7th grade at Deal. Very hard transition. I will say that the choice of school depends on the child, for my son Stoddert (and Deal next year) will be challenging enough, for my daughter Deal is not as challenging for her as her previous school.
