[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rock View ES-Newport Mill-Einstein has been great for us. [/quote]

OP here: I'd love more detail about your experience at Rock View! I have friends in this neighborhood and there are some cute houses around. [/quote]

It’s just been easy, honestly.  There isn’t much official enrichment before fourth grade, but the teachers have done what they can informally and the small class sizes have really helped make personal attention possible.  The kids are generally nice; community is warm and caring.  I feel like my kids are “seen” by their teachers.

It’s not the kind of place where people have tutors for ES kids for enrichment, which is what I wanted.  One of my kids has an IEP for speech and now ADHD and the school has been great to work with.  The teachers have been good to excellent.  There is an interim principal this year after the old beloved one moved on, so I am hoping things stay strong!

Neighbors who use NMMS have good things to say as well but we aren’t there yet.  We use babysitters from Einstein and they have been great, normal kids.  I don’t think they are Harvard-bound, but they also aren’t going to flame out from burnout at the age of 17.  They are all headed to great colleges I would be happy to send my kids to and seem to have enjoyed their school years, which is what I want for my family.  I would absolutely choose the cluster again if I were looking now.  [/quote]

I'm also a Rock View parent and my kid's teachers have been excellent but none of them work at Rock View anymore, and I don't know what next year is going to look like because 1/3 of the teachers aren't returning. [/quote]
