[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many 3rd graders does IT have? Can anyone other than PS parent comment? Don't mean to be cynical, but what I've heard at PS level is not hugely different than what my kids got in small PS classes. It's easy for first time parents and founding families to be wowed. BTDT. Other than dance classes, which I wish one of mine had!, it's kind of tough to get a read on the school beyond PS. [/quote]

I am a 3rd grade parent.  There are 16-17 kids in that class.  It is racially and socio-economically mixed.  There are several kids that are academically advanced, an equal amount who are in the middle, and a few that really need help catching up.

Ther new 3rd grade teacher is a ball of ideas and energy and we are greatful for her presence.  We also love her male co-teacher who has been fantastic and a great stabilizing force in a classroom that leans male. (So yes, there are two full time teachers for 17 students).  There is also a dedicated group of active 3rd grade parents who are committed to helping make this class a success.

My 3rd grader loves IT and would go ballistic if I so much as mentioned the idea of changing schools.  BTW, I have more than one child in IT beyond PS and I am happy to report that all of my children LOVE this school (and I am not exaggerating).

The school isn't perfect--there have certainly been bumps in the road, particularly for the 3rd grade class--but still, IT it has far exceeded my expectations for a first year charter.

Any other questions?[/quote]
