Hunts Corner

I am a recent graduate of this school and there is alot to unpack so lets begin. On the outsde this school is great, what they show the parents after hours and at special ceremonies you would think this is the best school ever, when in reality, pre-k3 all the way to kindergarten are in the same class together, 1st-3rd grade are all together 4&5th aswell. When you get to 6th-8th they get seperated, but when it comes to creative arts you could easily have a class with each grade level. This could be okay but each grade requires a certian level of care and teachers cant give that if they have to teach 3 differnt cirruculums to 3 different grades, in the same classroom together, at the same time. This school is awesome for pre-k but once you hit 1st grade it could be a train wreck, or it could be great. 1st-5th grade are just a mess, teachers come and go. Your child could have 1 teacher first grade another half of second then switch then change agin in 3rd, 4th grade seems good until 5th grade its not. It's not a stable enviorment and doesn't benefit the childs education having to adapt to new enviorments every few weeks. And the main reason why? Because TEACHERS CANNOT CONTROL THEIR CLASSROOMS. 6th-8th grade may seem better and they are, but truth is, the middle school program doesn't prepare your child for high school. The workload is non-existent. At traditional schools, kids have homework, and not just a game on the the computer tyoe homework, real work, but not here. The most kids get for math is a IXL here or there. No wonder the math scores are bad. For ELA, kids barely learn to write. Their essays are not good, they don't have the basic skills beeeded to succeed in the rest of their educational career. Your foundation for High school and college is built in middle school, and this isn't a good place to build that foundation. Not to mention, kids are often kept in the same class with the same students for years. After a certain grade kids cant come to the school. Kids need to learn how social skills, you cant do that if you see the same faces for 10 years. So before you send you kid here becouse you dont have to worry about chaning schools and teachers. Really think, is this the enviorment you want your child in. Another Kicker they just changed schools because the facilities were a mess. Now 6th-8th grade are in modulars detached from the building. Hope this was helpful!
