This is a great school, and the teachers and principal seem to be extremely involved in effective results delivery. The parents are also very active. We have a first grader, and he is learning more things than I did in 5th or 6th grade. And he loves going to school most of the time. He is not as infatuated with his teacher this year, but it is her first year in the school and may take some adjusting. I attended on of the coffee with the principal meetings which was focused more on testing, however it was a very open forum with lots of access. The students put together a wonderful International program featuring all nationalities in which students were ethnically engaged. Academic achievements are emphasized, but so is the expectation of the kids, so the testing should not be intimidating. However, a lot of attention is placed on it, so I can't see how it wouldn't be. Fortunately, our boy is very smart, although stubborn, and sometimes knows more than the teacher or his parents. We are adoptive parents and much older, so when he challenges a man with three degrees, including a Ph.D., it is eye-opening. I think it might be hard for a less fortunate or challenged young boy or girl. The teacher does have the class work together daily for some time with students of equal levels, so I found that a good method of keeping things moving is not just focused on the more or less advantaged. I give it an A.
