[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]St. Bart’s family here. We’re very happy with the school and feel the teachers and community are passionate and committed to the school. It’s very small, and some of the grades have a pretty serious gender imbalance, so if your child does not gel with the rest of their grade or wants more social outlets, it might not be a good fit.  From the parents I’ve spoken with who left this year, this was their main gripe.  It seems like a lot of the grades have broken even, even given the attrition, due to new students coming in. Just offering a different perspective.[/quote]

Others are absolutely entitled to their own opinions, but insinuating St. Bart’s is on the verge of being shuttered on an anonymous forum, and potentially turning off prospective families from even exploring the school, seems counterproductive to making the changes you feel are needed.  The school needs to keep enrollment up to have the resources to invest in teachers and additional supports.  We do not think the school is perfect by any stretch, but our DC is happy, learning a ton, and loves school, so we plan to stay as long as that is still the case, regardless of who the principal is. Just offering the perspective of a family that is mostly very happy with the school and who knows a lot of happy families there.[/quote]
