[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to the most recent Principal presentation last week the plans next year are for 3-PK, 5-K, 5-1st, 5-2nd, 4-3rd, 4-4th and 4-5th.  Projections for enrollment next year are 670-680. 
 
My kids started in later grades after private. In first grade the year my child started there were 10 other new kids. In 3rd there were fewer new kids, but still a number of them.  There have been new kids added every year we have been there.  Some from private, so who move into the area.  We have been very happy with the curriculum, the teachers and the accessibility of the staff and administration.  The kids were welcomed in by other students, even my rather "energetic" son. I switched because I wanted the kids to be part of the neighborhood school. I felt they were really missing out on being part of the community we lived in (we are IB) and it has made a huge difference in their personalities, confidence and play.  When I toured Janney originally I noticed the new building, but also that most of the curriculum they were teaching was exactly the same as what my kids were getting in private.  Same math curriculum, same writing curriculum, same reading assessments, same music and art exposure.  Even the same artist happened to be performing at an assembly that we had just had at the private school the week before.  When I added it up it seemed like a logical choice and in hindsight, one of the best ones I have made for my kids.

As for Deal, over 90 percent of the kids from Janney, Lafayette, Murch, etc are going there.[/quote]

Wow PP:  sounds like you got taken for a ride at your private school...[/quote]
 NOt PP, but do you mind sharing which Private you used to be at? We are currently at Norwood for K and are considering just going to Janney instead, due to finances, but would love to hear which school you are at to get a comparison in the curriculum.
