I love this school district, across the board! Read up on other districts, and this one has great results! I also strongly disagree with the uber parents who feel that full day kindergarten is a must. Our town sent us the breakdown of what children do in full day as opposed to half, and they are only

The additional time does not add up to one minute more of classroom learning time than the half day program. My husband works two jobs so that I can be home with my kids during these important years. I am thrilled that my children have been so gently and lovingly introduced to ed. at this school! Read less

My son is in Kindergarten. He is very advanced and was tested outside the school and found to be at grade level 2.6 He had no special teachings. He already reads and is doing adding, subtracting and some fractions. His teacher didn't help much, she let him read to the class once or twice. He was so bored
