[quote=Anonymous]I cannot speak toward Hyde Elementary, but Brent has a strong community, good academics in the younger years, and feels like a private in terms of enrichment (a large PTA budget to enhance the already existing specials especially their music programming/play). The teachers are caring and kind although the Upper School model (combined 4th and 5th grade) really hinders their impact on students. I've always been curious what they think of this model. The previous posts are pretty accurate in terms of middle school placement and supplementing in the upper grades -- the Principal seems to be in denial that a large percentage of the high achieving kids go to Mathnasium or other enrichment programs and that the positive outcomes are not all Brent-driven. Also seems to be in denial about the Upper School model (parents and students hate it). The commute will be a wash. [/quote]
