PP, that email address isn't working

I'd like to ask some questions about Burnt Mills.

So far, I really like the teachers at Burnt Mills, but there are aspects of the school I dislike, as well. The principal is pretty cold and very test-driven. There's no transportation if you're not zoned for the school. The immersion classes are huge--I think first grade this year is 27 kids, although it's a Title I school and the other first grades are (I believe) ~20.

If you have specific questions, post an email and I'll contact you.

No- but got moderately good wait list numbers at all three. Expecting to have to make a quick decision if the wait lists start moving. Any advice appreciated.

Did you get spots in all three?

Aside from the language differences, and full immersion vs. partial, what are your thoughts on these programs? If you have a child in any of these programs, what has your experience been?

I have seen some negative postings about the principal at SC- anyone with kids there in the immersion program have thoughts on that?

Thanks.
