Catherine And Count Basie Middle School 72

Beware they will give children a kindergarten diploma, have them attend graduation, and lie to the parents by saying the child will move forward after attending the summer program. I’m sorry I fell for it. I’ve heard from other parents who were given the same story. Since moving my kids out of the school, they are actually learning! I would NOT recommend this school because the academic performance isn't great anyway.

My son currently attends this school. He went into Kindergarten not know much if his alphabet and letter sounds and is now reading. Many of his classmates are excellent readers also. I am excited about the direction this school is heading. Parent involvement and engagement is the key to success for our children.

If you’re wondering why this school is struggling and the ratings are so low, look at the leadership. We have three administrators who can’t seem to get on the same page. The principal is great at making things look good on the surface, but once you’re actually involved, it’s a completely different story. She makes decisions based on her mood, not what’s best for the school, and honestly, she’s just not a kind person. I can’t help but wonder how effective she was as a teacher before stepping into this role.A lot of parents feel the same way—she’s just not well-liked. Here’s my main question: How can someone be principal for six years, have the school perform this poorly year after year, and still face no investigation or improvement plan? If teachers get put on improvement plans or even let go for not showing growth, why isn’t the same standard applied to principals?Potential teacher? Avoid … Wishy washy admin. Parent thinking of sending your child? Avoid. Your children are not going to receive good education here. Nearly half of the children in this school cannot read.That’s not a good sign.

This is one of the best early education schools around — truly a hidden gem. My daughter attended this school for first grade and had never gone to pre-K or kindergarten before. She learned so much that by the end of the year, she was testing at a second-grade level in both reading and math.The teachers and staff are amazing and genuinely care about the students. My daughter is now in second grade at a new school and is on the honor roll. She was fully prepared thanks to the strong foundation she received here.The only downside is that the school only goes up to first grade. The tuition for is very reasonable and absolutely worth it.

School do not do enough for scholars to actually learn everything is a fund raiser and no real academic plays for these kids and the grades are no good due to the teachers not staying or even caring for these kids
