[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's sad to see Loiederman portrayed in such a negative light in these comments. DD is a freshman in HS now, but she loved her time there and goes back when she can to see teachers and old friends. She found it to be a very supportive environment, and commented how students from other feeder middle schools are much meaner than the students from Loiederman. They had an anti-bullying club there, and a couple of Loiederman students actually narrate an anti-bullying video on stopbullying.gov. Many of the students were typical performing arts kids - a little goofy, dramatic, out of the ordinary - but they found acceptance among their peers there. I'm sorry for the PP who had a bad experience, but our experience was very different. Academics were challenging at times, not at others, but DD was well prepared for HS and is taking honors/AP classes now.[/quote]

Thanks for the feedback on the school and your daughter's experience.  Did you/your daughter notice that the academic classes had arts integration in them? I have heard that the teachers receive special training in arts integration, and I'm curious to know how much that gets infused in the academics and how different it is from what a child would receive at their home school (for out-of-bounds students).

Were the English classes challenging in terms of books assigned, writing assignments, and did she feel there were other children in her class who were in her peer group/learning at a high academic level?[/quote]
