[quote=Anonymous]I have kids at Somerset and live in the neighborhood. The neighborhood is amazing. Totally, totally amazing walkability, nice people, awesome gathering point with the pool, I could go on and on. The school is very good. I have problems with the school, but they are really with Curriculum 2.0 and the way public schools are pushing our kids in general. Somerset's the kind of place where your kid can be above grade level at reading but in the lowest reading group. There's just a ton of high achieving peoples with high achieving kids here. I think the administration listens to parents more than, say, Woodacres, where there is wide-spread parent disillusionment with the administration. It's just that there isn't enough PTA volunteers to do tours all the time. I think they tend to set them a few times a year and only when they can get enough volunteers. I will say that the after-school activities are very good and the Foundation pays for reading and math clubs so that kids can get extra academic enrichment. [/quote]
