[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been really unsatisfied with our experience at Lee East End this year, but I'm having trouble finding other options that would be better to apply for next year.

I toured Stokes East End before the pandemic and I was appalled by the behaviors I saw - both from students and staff. Any idea how it's going these days?

Global Citizens could be an option, but I also have no idea how it is actually going and they don't seem to have any in person tours available right now.

Wildflower Riverseed won't have 2nd grade next year, which is what my eldest will need. I really wish they did because this would be the perfect solution.

I'm not interested in any of the "no excuses" type schools like KIPP, DC Scholars, Rocketship, etc.

Is there anything I'm missing? Are we just stuck?[/quote]

I don’t see why you shouldn’t just stay and try to make Lee East End better?

I mean, if everybody just runs from the school, how is it ever supposed to improve? [/quote]

Have you ever had a kid who is struggling with the behavior/culture or instruction at a school, and decided to stay? What was that like for you and your kid?

This question is easier to wrestle with in the abstract, in my experience, than when you see your kid sobbing each day before going to school because they dread it so much, or falling behind or lacking any differentiated instruction when you see MS and HS coming up fast.[/quote]
