[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’ve been pretty happy at BIM, and have a lot of respect for FH as well. The administration at BIM is horrible, but the teachers are amazing. I think BIM is different than the rest of the network, even the rest of Independent. That’s good and bad. But kids seem happy (unless they have a tiger mom), they’re learning tons, have lots of recess and gym, and are generally good kids. Majority-minority, with tons of emphasis on arts and organization.

Because of the whole Dalton thing, we started looking at other schools and we’re surprised at what we saw at FH. It’s on our active list because I have a sneaking suspicion that BIM administration may introduce a DEI that antagonizes the parents greatly. (And of course, The Receptionist announced just that at the State of the School) Based on my discussions with parents, about 25-40% will start looking if anything even resembling CRT is announced. These parents care about academic rigor, first and foremost.

But, that’s potentially every school. Between them, they are different, but both strong schools.[/quote]

Did The Receptionist give any actual enrollment numbers for this year or next? Not just "Look how many new families enrolled!" but an acknowledgment of how many will leave again this coming year.

I would be shocked if she did.  I did see that several of their job listings are for Teaching Fellows, who only teach a couple of classes and get paid less. That would fit a smaller enrollment and budget.[/quote]

She said 450 for next year. I was surprised as it is usually a state secret. No idea what it is this year.[/quote]
