[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is in Oak View CES, fifth grade. Some other considerations that have not been mentioned: your child will have an opportunity to learn with others at a similarly advanced level--that is a huge plus. Teacher won't have to stop the class for major discipline issues or spend all her time helping the kids who are behind. Completely different classroom dynamic from a traditional grade level situation. I was a parent volunteer on Career Day and saw just how smart and engaged the CES classes were compared to the other classes. Kids can geek out to Hamilton or be into math or whatever, and that's totally cool. The counselor is very well-liked and does alot of anti-bullying stuff and conflict resolution skills which my daughter found really useful.

Yes Oak View is a Title 1 school and there is Spanish on the playground--which is GREAT. My daughter did make friends with kids outside the CES. Yes it would be great to have a serious art program, etc., but we've only found that from private school these days. I would say, go for it. [/quote]

Thanks. I'm the pp who asked about the counselor and I appreciate your response. My child's had some social challenges that stem at least partially from there being a mismatch between the things he is interested in and the things his peers are interested in. One more question that might be oddly specific - he was really looking forward to staring instrumental music next year at his home school. Music starts district-wide in 4th, right? He'd still be able to do that at Oakview? [/quote]
