[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SJC goes in and out of favor at our K-8 as well. It tends to go in waves based on prior year’s graduation class matriculation. It’s a fine school and if your child is in the honors program it can be a solid curriculum and peer group. Of course it is also a good value with the more modest tuition. [/quote] My child attended SJC and the lack of certified teachers showed. Outdated and ineffective pedagogy was common. Not enough professional development to improve teaching. Maybe things have changed recently but it was not as strong academically as a good DCPS.[/quote] Not surprised. Two kids both got presidential scholarship ($20K). Attended scholars brunch for first one and the teachers were unimpressive. That was main reason we crossed it off. We applied for DD this year and also got presidential scholarship and didn't consider because she did not like her shadow day. We applied as a safety school. Yes, we are going to pay $40K a year, but you get what you pay for.[/quote] Omg you are still posting about this? Your kid should be in college just about now right? 😂😂 [/quote]
