[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At this pony even we are considering this school since our local schools can’t get it together [/quote]

Be careful what you wish for. Right now, comprehensive exams in middle school make up 40% of the kids grades in the 2nd semester  and 60% in the 3rd semester. Kids are super stressed and having to get tutors since they are only getting 2-3 days of teacher led instruction and 2 days of self driven instruction.  And parents feel ashamed their kids can’t hack it so they put more pressure on the kids or give them additional work to get ahead. It’s a pressure cooker situation.

Some of the teachers are amazing and some should be replaced by the janitor. And once again, the HOS left early (5 in 5 years!) and the temp replacement is the front desk clerk from a few years ago.

Not that most people here care about fact but... My child is currently at basis and not experiencing this at all.  She is preparing for Pre-comps as she should and it's getting the appropriate support from her teachers.   There is a HOS in place who has been having more than enough communication with parents and in the meantime, the Head of Operations is the interim HOS.  Not a clerk, the Head of Operations that has been working with the school for several years and will be working along the side the new HOS.  I have been in several of his meetings and I'm very excited for next year. I think he's going to be a great addition to the school.

If anyone has questions about the school, reach out to the school.  Try to connect with parents who still have kids at the school so they can offer current information and a fresh perspective.  [/quote]
