[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SSMA parent here. Still loving it. Our son is learning so much, the Spanish program is going great and the community association is working great with the administration. Just so that people know, most of those parents that left are all white, so make your conclusions with that in mind. All seats were filled and no financial danger for the school, even if haters want to build fear in those who don’t know[/quote]

Aside from the spurious racial argument, the point about seats being filled is incredibly misleading. We're a pk3 family at SSMA and the primary classes are not balanced by grade, a critical element of a Montessori school. The class my son is in is about 1/2 pk3, 1/4 pk4 and 1/4 k. This will likely impact their numbers going forward as they won't have enough kindergartners becoming 1st graders, etc. They will this have to keep taking large numbers of new students which long term impacts test scores and retention rates.

I can see that there's basically nobody on the waitlist at all.  https://www.myschooldc.org/short-waitlists  Do the classrooms even have the right number of kids, total?[/quote]

Is there a way we can see how many kids per grade are at SSMA? That would be useful to understand if the classes are balanced the way they are supposed to be for Montessori of of pp above's assertion is correct.[/quote]
