[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We noticed a lot of movement pre-K 3 through kindergarten. After that, things were pretty stable until end of 4th.

Academic quality has varied more by teacher, which would happen at any school. We have had amazing teachers, good teachers, and ok teachers. Some have been better at differentiation. My kid hasn’t taken PARCC because of COVID, so I can’t say what their score would be… but on all other metrics they are doing great.

The bigger thing I think we have “missed” out on is activities. Our school has some, but I know other “wealthier” schools have more programming, especially in aftercare. We have some basic offerings through volunteer organizations. My kids do not notice, love aftercare, etc. And- most of the time- I appreciate that aftercare is so low key. But I have, at various times, been really jealous when I have heard the various after school clubs and activities other friends have through school. Logistically, it would just be easier if I could use aftercare for my kids extracurricular pursuits. [/quote]

I totally agree in aftercare and after school activities[/quote]

Same at our school. The UMC parents have tried to bring more activities but the PTA is controlled by three people who are adamant that NO activities can be added unless they are free to every single kid.  Its so frustrating.[/quote]
