[quote=Anonymous]We've been there four years now, I love the vast majority of the teachers.  Have had some great experiences with my  challenging kids.  I love the community feel - people care very much about what's going on and are engaged.  I'm a WOHM, and there's a good number of us.  However, I think partly from the waiting together to pick up kids at the end of the day more of the SAH moms make friends, so I can sometimes feel a little odd-parent-out at things where parents are talking with each other.

There is almost no ethnic diversity.  My older child's class has one child whose family is ethnically Chinese and one child who is biracial (AA & caucasian).  My younger child has a classmate whose family at some point came from India and one whose family is probably from south/central America.  And I can name these four kids in their two classes because everyone else is white.  (Not four kids in the entirety of their two grades, just their individual classrooms.)

In terms of not-so-crazy about - the crowding.  The school is well past bursting at the seems.  We're scheduled to have 10 trailers next year.  This should be geratly alleviated in 2015 when the new school hopefully opens, but for right now it's making for a very full building and some wacky lunch times.[/quote]
