[quote=Anonymous]Both of my children are identified as gifted, although not profoundly so, and I could not have paid for a better education than they received at Forest Knolls. The staff does a great job at providing children opportunities to stretch and grow in their strong areas, while providing support in weaker areas. Teachers are friendly, approachable, and concerned about the progress of their students. The new principal (who was acting principal last year), new AP and new counselor all have seamlessly adapted to their new positions. Forest Knolls also has many opportunities for children in the arts, such as an African dance and drumming troupe, a kids news station, and an exceptional chorus. There is also the opportunity to test into one of the highly gifted centers for 4th & 5th grade, which some Forest Knolls parents choose to do for their children. But some others choose to keep their gifted kids in Forest Knolls through 5th grade, because this school definitely meets your child where they are, and allows them the opportunity to just "be a kid" at the same time. The parent community is wonderful and supportive as well. I'm sure there are negatives, I just haven't experienced any yet.[/quote]
