[quote=Anonymous]I have never heard anyone say a bad word about SWS at the ECE level. True Reggio with heavy art focus. At higher grades, some begin to bemoan the lack of differentiation for high performers (its a feature, not a bug; principal will flat out tell you they won’t do it), but the level of instruction is solid. Lacking in afterschool options, PTA (which they have another name for) is comparatively uninvolved, surprisingly limited community events (perhaps because of prior point and because student body is becoming increasingly dispersed as sibling lottery preference no longer disproportionately Hill based). Vibe is fairly crunchy (low screen use, not allowed to celebrate Halloween/normal holidays) and surprisingly high on SAHMs/part time working moms (which are pretty uncommon at surrounding Hill schools). Long term (founding) art teacher is retiring and given her prominent influence on the school (great art classes, but also awkward over focus on racial justice issues), it will be interesting to see what gets shaken up.[/quote]
