[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sonehwat of a lurker here but a parent at the school and in a class that used to be amazing and is now not so amazing. The new Head is just meh. I know a lot of unhappy families. The n-word was definitely used by a kid in our class this year but you would never hear that from the school.  We learned about it from other parents. With one class per grade, if you don't like the teachers or the changes that they make in classrooms to teaching partnerships (which have been constant in grades 1-5) for the last 5 years, you're really stuck. And sadly where changes are needed (teachers in 6th and 7th) there haven't been changes and they never force those teachers to do or be different. 7th grade is particularly awful. Find some parents in the current 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 8th grade classes if you want deep insights about the school. People in K or 1st are blissfully happy, as they should be. [/quote]

This speaks to the old head/ new head issue.  Folks who came in under the old head had a certain set of expectations of the school.  Those who came in under the new head have another set of expectations.  Given the old head's almost cult-like following, I can see how this makes for a challenging environment for change for any new head.

We have experienced both heads, and honestly, like the new head better (and are excited about the new directions she is taking the school). [/quote]
