[quote=Anonymous]Current Grace parent here.  A few thoughts - first, I think if you look at where Grace kids end up for 6th grade and beyond, you'll find they are admitted to schools that are highly regarded for their academics in the area.  As another, admittedly smaller sample size, point of comparison, Grace students consistently do well at the Mid-Atlantic Episcopal Schools Association academic fair and compete well against students from schools like St. Albans, WES, and St. Andrews.  Third, from personal experience with my DC, I feel good about the level of academic rigor, particularly in the areas of science, math, and reading.  The work is appropriately challenging for students who want more advanced work, but the teachers have the resources to give attention to students who need extra help in particular areas.  In particular, I would highlight the school's reading specialist and the science teacher, who are both exceptional and creative teachers.  We have been so happy with the experience our DC is having at Grace and think DC will be well prepared for life after Grace.[/quote]
