[quote=Anonymous]I'm 16:28 (and a few others).  My daughter went on to NCS, which is where most of the Beauvoir girls went (probably 80%).  I know that the same is true with St. Albans for the boys.  On the math, I just took it as a warning and used the summer to bone up.  I think what happens with math is that they concentrate very much on math concepts, but not on math facts.  Also it may vary very much by the 3rd grade teacher in particular -- that's the grade that you're going to move past addition subtraction and early multiplication and really prepare for 4th grade.  In my daughter's case, she had a great third grade teacher who had them doing math all the time.

Also, I will say that it probably depended very much on the child.  I don't think Beauvoir had a student body composed of just geniuses.  I know that in my DD's class, half went out of the classroom for learning resources (special support, either for reading, math or writing).  So maybe this evaluation of "weak in math" speaks not to the teachers but just to a diverse (academically) student body.  [/quote]
