[quote=Anonymous]NP. I've had a student at EH for three years. I'm sure everyone knows that math skills took a nosedive across the board during the pandemic, and everyone is still digging out. You also see the stubborn achievement gap that exists. They have been very intentional about targeting math skills, and it's helped that DCPS has changed their policies. It used to be the DCPS policy that a student had to be in advanced math in 6th grade to be considered for Algebra in 8th, so EH put everyone in advanced math for 6th and tried to support. It was ROUGH the first few years post-pandemic and may account for scores. But each year, EH has worked to apply more resources to math, bolstering the team and adding resources.

Overall, my kid has had a really good experience like OPs. Teachers have mostly been excellent, many have been there for years and years. The school is small enough in student population that everyone knows your kid. It's also large enough in size that kids are able to move comfortably, which may sound minor, but I think is really important at this age when bodies and emotions and brain development are all changing rapidly. There are still some discipline issues of course, but you don't have the stuff that I've heard about at Deal where they're packed in like sardines.[/quote]
