This is my son's 3rd year at Redd School and I have found all his teachers to be wonderful. They are willing to spend extra time with the children making sure they fully understand the concepts. They are able to maintain class dicipline through a combination of positive reinforcement and appropriate

My son's interest in school has improved DRASTICALLY since moving from the public school. They do not send home as much homework as the public school, which imo is good... a 2nd grader shouldn't have 1.5 hrs of homework. I do not feel the academics are lacking. In fact, I've thought some topics, particurally Science, was above grade level. Aftercare is the only area where level of supervision has varied and it is has also improved this year. Read less

The Redd School environment is VERY family-friendly and it's refreshing to know that the teachers aren't 'teaching to the test' but teaching the students to have a lifelong love of learning. Good student-teacher ratios and excellent free after-school 'clubs' (i.e.,robotics, radio, puppetry, service, gardening, animal care, astronomy, etc). There is an emphasis on the development of the WHOLE CHILD rather than only on academics at the sacrifice of emotional and social development. I have also been very impressed with what I've observed from the middle school teachers. Read less
