[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 2 kids at Stokes and am very happy there.  The teachers are absolutely wonderful and very supportive.  My kids have learned a lot compared to their peers who are at other DC schools, including private schools.  Also, I found the PTA and Admin staff to be helpful and very active, so not sure about the comments otherwise.  Maybe others have had different experiences.  I have visited dozens of schools in DC (private, public, charter) and they all have strengths and weaknesses.  [b]Stokes fits the personalities of our kids very well and that is why we are there.[/b]  It's like picking a college - some people like the big schools and some like small, liberal arts.  Both types and strengths and weaknesses, it just depends on what your needs are.  Some of my friends would have hated to go to my college and I would have hated their choice, but we individually like where we each went.  I think my kids are learning as they should be at Stokes and I am pleased they are mastering another language.  If you have specific questions about the school, feel free to ask and I will reply.  Overall, my experience has been positive.

The only negative that comes to mind is the parking and lighting of the school outside.  This needs to be changed because I think the parking situation and limited lighting is dangerous.  [/quote]

Just curious if you could elaborate on what ther personalities of kids who do best at Stokes. I liked the school a lot when I visited and didn't get a sense that one kind of kid would do better than another. (With Montessori, I definitely got the sense that some kids would do well and others would flounder.) Thanks![/quote]

Different poster, are you asking the PP to generalize about what types of personalities she thinks do well at Stokes?  Or to tell you what HER kids personalities are like, since that's all she said, she said the school fits HER kids personalities.  I'm not her but I'd think it would be hard to generalize about *all* the types of kids who do well at a particular school.  She probably doesn't know every kid or the full range of personalities.[/quote]
