[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ranking these schools without knowing the kid doesn't make much sense to me.  For some, Burke would be the clear first choice.  For others, not so much.  Same for Field and SAES.  We did not look at Flint Hill and don't know anything about it.

Oh good grief. Field isn't a good first choice for any child.

Everyone keeps talking about it for kids with learning disabilities,  but it is a terrible place for those kids.   It has very inexperienced teachers and only recently got its first learning specialists.   And it's not a couple of kids in each class needing accommodations,  but lots. We visited twice before Covid and the classrooms were chaotic.   Everyone we know with a child there has tried to transfer out. A mess. [/quote]

And that Learning Specialist was run out of the school.  Great person but even she saw what a disaster the new head is.  And it's the head that hired her and not someone held over from the last head.[/quote]

So back to no learning specialist,  and a school full of kids with needs?  And few teachers with any real teaching experience?

Nice.

Yup and at $50k+ a year, you would expect more from them. [/quote]
