[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree. I think the lower school is excellent, and the middle school is flailing. If I could magically take my child out of Burgundy MS I would, but he loves his friends. They have had a lot of turnover at the MS - new teachers, new head-- and somehow things just never gelled. [/quote] +1. The lower school is wonderful. The middle school is disappointing. The kids don't learn how to write papers or essays. The grammar instruction is non-existent. The kids are compassionate and well versed on all kinds of social issues when they graduate, but they lack the essential writing skills kids in other private schools are receiving. The grades issued are ridiculously harsh, almost in an effort to make the school seem more rigorous. My child stayed because of close friendships, not because of the academics. Yes, I regret it.[/quote]
