[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Listen, my kid was at RCES at the heart of the overcrowding and when the problematic principal was there.  It was not ideal for sure but my kid get a decent education.

I think in the last few years with Covid there is an uptick in private schools for a few reasons.   And the old principal did not help things either.   And then there are people that will go to private regardless.  Not a fan of private school myself but to each their own.

RCES being less overcrowded is a good thing. [/quote]

“My kid got a decent education” isn’t the most inspiring testimonial. You just reinforced to me that we made the right choice.[/quote]
DP. Overcrowding aside, we were very pleased with RCES. Our kids had good teachers and were usually placed with a teacher who was a good fit for their needs. They had some interesting projects in the CES and got to read high level texts. The PTA was active, there were fun school events, parent volunteers were welcomed, and the kids had multiple field trips each year, including some really nice ones. My dc was well prepared for the middle school magnet and is now in a high school magnet. RCES’s counselors and administrators were very thoughtful and accommodating during 504 meetings. The overcrowding was the downside, and that’s been alleviated.[/quote]

I’m not willing to bet on my kid lucking into the magnet/CES programs. We all know even qualified kids don’t get into those programs. [/quote]

There are two full local  CES classrooms at RCES out of the 5 or 6 fourth and fifth grades. If you kid doesn't get in, it'd not because they were "unlucky" it's because they are poor academic performers
