[quote=Anonymous]As someone said up-post, each kid is unique, and served by different needs. Oyster is not perfect, nor is any other school, but it is beloved by many current families and alumni from the past 40 years.

Personally, I love to see the connection- and see the staff around the school who were once students there- and now employed or involved as parents themselves.  My Lyft driver once dropped me off and said that he too was an alumnus from the 1980s, and knew the current aftercare director, another alumnus.

There are several families I know of at Oyster who have children in attendance at the school- as well as at other schools better suited to that particular child's learning style. Could be driven by affinity for language, class size, all kinds of parameters.  This same scenario is repeated at other schools, both charter (in my own circles, I know of friends at IT and MV with kids attending different schools). No less love for the environment, just a recognition of what might be a good fit (or not.)

The best advice, as a parent who also once changed their child's school to find that elusive ideal environment for their needs, is to follow the wisdom of the PP who suggested reaching out to Asst. Principal Berrocal.  She's rational, warm, and willing to work with parents.  If your child is in PK4, its just one more year, and she could join in K.
