[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For what age? We did New Hope through elementary school[/quote]

How is New Hope Academy? I'm considering sending my child there if she doesn't get into one of the lottery schools.[/quote]

My kids left elem school a few years ago so I am not that up to date on the current state of the school.

PK was great. K was iffy - it was fine, but not amazing. The first grade teacher is wonderful. Everyone else we had, has since left so I can't comment on the new teachers.

It is a nice little school. everyone knows everyone else. The art and music teachers are great - and get a lot of good work from the kids. Because classes are small, teachers can be flexible (going outside to teach a lesson) or letting my active son stand at his desk vs sitting. The principal is approachable and knows each kid by name and parents.

Cons - the classes are really small. And while it is nice for the kids to know everyone, it also can pigeon hole them.  Facilities are ok - but most of the school doesn't have a/c.

We went there because we didn't have good elementary school options and were generally happy with it. We would do it again under the same circumstances. [/quote]
