[quote=Anonymous]My kid attends and while I hear there are occasional fights it does not seem to impact their day to day. None of their peers are involved in the fights. Within the friend group they are all taking multiple APs, involved in clubs, and getting very good grades. The teachers have been responsive when I have reached out and made themselves available for extra support when needed. The kids who like it seem to enjoy and thrive in the smallness of the school. There is a sense of community around this smallness.

The school is only in its second year so things that could be improved will improve with time.  Transportation to the school is an issue. There isn’t a ton of school spirit, not as many clubs nor all the sports you would have at JR. I’d love to see a theatre department develop. There are many clubs but, again, not as many as JR. This kid is not particularly sporty so it hasn’t impacted us. For kids who are into sports though, it seems much more accessible to get on a team. I also doubt my kid would have felt comfortable joining as many clubs if they had been at JR. I think they may have felt slightly overwhelmed or intimidated.

We have been pleased with the school so far. [/quote]
