[quote=Anonymous]I actually think that for a Catholic parochial school, the academics are almost as strong as they can be. It has a great academic reputation, with a strong principal/vice principal, counselors, resource teachers, 2 classes per grade (3 classes in Kindergarten to really focus on those reading skills), and it is trying to cap the older classes at 25-26. They publish the MAP scores and start MAP testing in K to get them practicing and to monitor progress over time. They have a reading specialist for K-2 and differentiate math in 3rd. Geometry is a solid option for 8th. My biggest issue is SOCIALLY the parents, which then trickles down to the kids. About a third of the parents (at least the new ones) are WWCC, which affects your child's ability to socialize. If the WWCC only hangs out with each other, then they aren't inviting your child to their playdate or birthday party. The WWCC is also NOT great about making new friends. If there were a way to filter them out, the school would be absolutely amazing, because there are genuinely incredible families in this school who just get overshadowed by the WWCC families. [/quote]
