[quote=Anonymous]Parent of older grade kid and Y member here. The kids are separated by age. I have rarely seen more than one grade play on playground at a time. I have NEVER witnessed any behavior mentioned up thread. The Y leaders are very active and often seen running, jumping, playing ball with the best of them. I pick up on the early side and have never seen any teacher sit on a bench. Not saying it hasn't happened just offering my experience. There is a site leader that sits at front desk to buzz people in and sign kids out. I am usually there by 445-5 and usually have to wait another 15-30 mins because my kid begs to stay. As far as academics, I agree that there is a pretty noticeable shift in 1st grade. I love that they keep inspired methods. My kid was a late reader in K (compared to the excellent readers in class). Just left our second parent teacher conference yesterday and DC is reading high second/low third grade level. DC has always excelled in math and this year is no change. DC is doing multiplication and basics of fractions. They separate the kids into reading, writing, and math groups based on levels and they do a great job teaching where your child is. Most importantly, they are still very aware of the social development of a 6 year old and work to help them with independence.

I am not trying to paint only a rainbow picture. I am weary of the limitations of such a small school. Will middle school have enough kids? Will the test scores continue to rise? Will they change some great methods to get better test results? As of now, we are very content and have no plans to move. The family community is very close and welcoming. There are family happy hours, dates, and babysitting coops and a lot of diversity.[/quote]
