[quote=Anonymous]OP - sharing support. We are also very pleased to be done. There is fair criticism over every school AND in my experience the fair criticism of Beauvoir is weirdly pushed aside. I would have made a different choice knowing now what I know - the teacher quality extremely variable, lack of consistent curriculum and education philosophy, and outplacement only focused on the Cathedral Schools. Half of the children in my older child's class were receiving extensive out of school support because they were not at grade level. While there will always be kids receiving support, it's unusual for half of a class to not be comfortable readers at the end of 1st grade. Very few families choose Beauvoir for Beauvoir - they choose it for the best path to NCS / STA. Because of that, the whole experience is focused on NCS / STA - who's gotten in? Are you planning on going? Etc - this all started in prek. The school doesn't have to stand on its own and compete against the other elementary schools. If it did, it would come up short. I know many people who have had great experiences - it seems like they got lucky and knew what they wanted (NCS / STA) and that was the right answer for their kid in 2nd grade. Others who didn't get lucky with teachers or who realized their kids wouldn't be well served at NCS / STA or who realized they didn't like the community on the Close and wanted different are SOL. We are very happy to be done. [/quote]
