[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Demographic trends tell an interesting story about both schools. We’ll see what the picture looks like in August. I am optimistic about renewal and will continue to support the school. My children are thriving and very happy. [/quote]

Same here. I am the pp who commented about having two kids at SSMA who are happy at the school, have fantastic teachers, and consistently thrive in Montessori. As an example my oldest kids academic level is two grades above his current level (not bragging but shedding light into performance). I do not feel threatened by the attendance policy and see it as a normal thing and agree with other posters regarding the school’s interest to check in on students who miss several classes. As a parent I am too concern about children who may have been missing class whether it is because their parents can’t support virtual education or they have a less than ideal home environment (parent neglect etc).

I do not consider my self a school booster and rarely comment on these threads, but I can tell you from first-hand experience that the school’s virtual education was far more better than one of the Dcps well regarded schools (won’t name the school), and that is my point of comparison when saying that  I was impressed by their ability to quickly pulling together the DL program. The scores may not be the best, but the school’s communication continues to improve, the guides and admin staff do genuinely care about the students. For the upcoming school year the school have asked parents feedback to make a decision on the schedule based on CDC/DC guidance. For me a  school is more than standardized tests.[/quote]

I'm glad your family is having a good experience. Can you speak to 1) Why re-enrollment is so much lower than the other public/charter montessori schools in the city? 2) Why teacher and staff turnover is so much higher than the other montessori schools in the city?[/quote]
