[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Torn between 2 houses. If your kids have attended any of these schools, could you please share your experiences. It would be helpful if you would state the school you are commenting on, the grades your child attended the school, and even better if you have older children who have attended multiple schools in the cluster. Option 1: Ritchie Park/JW/RM Option 2: Beverly Farms/Hoover/Churchill[/quote] I have kids at RPES and JW. My kids have had a good experience at both places. The RPES principal is generally viewed as very rigid, but we have not experienced a bad situation with her. The teachers at RPES and JW seem to have a sincere connection with students (despite class sizes) and there is not a lot of turnover. My kids are very bright and have always been accelerated and enriched appropriately. I think that all of the schools in this area are relatively good but for us, diversity (racial, socio-economic, religious) is very important. There is no cluster more diverse than the RM cluster. I don't want my kids growing up without knowing diversity. I think you can find good, happy, kids at all schools but there is something special about the RM cluster. [/quote] How big are the class sizes typically in each cluster? [/quote]
