[quote=Anonymous]I have a child at Linder. We are new this year. My daughter has a visual-spatial learning disability, and she has jumped 2 full grade levels in reading within 6 months at this school! They use *real* Orton-Gillingham (every teacher is certified). There are 5 kids in her math cohort. 5 in her English Language Arts (aka reading/writing) cohort. 9 in her homeroom grade. The playground is small (it's in Old Town though so that's to be expected). The school does have a bit of a startup vibe. But it's working and that's what matters—both from an academic and social perspective. My daughter is thriving, and I can't rave enough about it.

Also, people talked about it being chaotic. That has not been our experience at all. We're new this year, and so far, communication is great. They use an app called ParentSquare for daily updates about what they did in the classroom each day. Her teacher also sends personal notes every few days letting me know how she's doing in class. When I ask questions, I get responses from her teachers within a few hours. Can't ask for more! [/quote]
