[quote=Anonymous]My child is in 1st grade this year. We have had a quite positive experience with the teachers, kids, and parents. The vast majority of kids who were in K at Peabody moved to Watkins; I literally can't think of anyone I know who didn't stay, other than kids who moved out of DC, and the vast majority of those were also there in PK4. (We weren't there for PK3 so there might have been more movement to charter schools from PK3.) This was good both because of the social continuity and because it kept a group of engaged parents. I've been impressed with the teachers, and my child has made steady and impressive academic progress. The facility is subpar, but renovations will be starting soon. To help with transition from Peabody, 1st graders eat lunch in their classrooms. I think there is a touch too much focus on testing, but not to the extent that it's detracted from learning. [/quote]
