[quote=Anonymous]I had two kids that started this fall and we pulled them out. There was a lot of homework, the AM bus was always late to school, the afternoon bus didn't get in until about 5pm, and the kids were stressed. I liked many things about the school but found the third grade team wasn't great at communicating. One teacher told us flat out that she doesn't check her email every day, we shouldn't call her, and she never responded to notes I had written her. She would also write in big bold letters on my child's paper and that came across as yelling. I was warned that the third grade team was tough but I wasn't prepared for that and neither was my child. Now, my other child's group of teachers were great. We still had problems though because that child has an IEP and it was difficult to get all five teachers to follow it. When I pulled my kids out a friend was pulling her kids out too. A lot of people were and they re-opened the lottery in October because they had so many spots to fill. They also eliminated the counselor position and there was talk about the librarian going half-time. When I took my kids out I was given a very hard time and they refused to give me the paperwork until they felt I was certain and I had spoken to the principal. When I finally got them to agree to giving me the transfer papers we arranged a specific time for me to go in and get them. When I got there the papers weren't ready and I was told that they weren't sure it was my final answer. Then when they transferred the paperwork they left out things like grades and my kid's IEP.[/quote]
