Seems difficult to compare to LR without knowing who will be leading the third grade program.

It's not like the teacher who is leaving was an experienced teacher who had been there for years.

If you are a parent at the school, you can contact the principal or AART to ask them this question.

That's not information you will get or is owed to you....unfortunately. Understandable why you'd want it but it's not owed. Further, Shrevewood has other fantastic teachers who are capable of delivering the AAP curriculum in a cluster model. I wouldn't be attached to ONE teacher for your decision. I'd base it more on whether you want to stay at your base school or not and if you think the cluster model will work for your child.



It's clear that the cluster model requires teachers who are able to differentiate instruction and reach multiple styles of learners and abilities within the same class. If the school promoting the cluster model is not able to tell parents who the teachers will be and what level of experience they have, if any, with differentiation -- then how can parents facing a decision know whether it will work or be a good fit for their kids?

Clustering has been the best thing that ever happened for kids who stayed at Shrevewood - small class sizes, tailored math classes, less competitiveness. Really pleased with it!

But my kids aren't in AAP, so there's that.

Lemon Road's AAP Information Night was very impressive.... I get the feeling most kids will be headed there again.

That's ALL schools. Even LR.


It’s not ALL schools. I’ve been teaching at a school for 12 years are we rarely have openings.

Very few schools don’t have openings. Your school is a minority.

My kid is at LR (aap) and we absolutely love it. Excellent principals, strong teachers, great staff. I don't love my kid's current teacher, but it's still okay overall - and she has grown on me. Teachers seem happy with a strong community. Lots of teachers send their kids there. Great pta, lots of activities. I would not be a fan of the cluster model.

If given the choice, I’d send my child to Lemon Road.

Ugh, great. That school cannot keep teachers. So frustrating. Lemon Road, here we come.
