Describe the general climate of the grade level that you teach or your child attends:
The younger grades 2-3, the school is excellent.My daughter is getting a more rigorous curriculum than we received in Maryland.I feel she's getting a more comprehensive and useful education.She has had wonderful, caring, teachers.The classes have been managed well with a great environment.5th grade was difficult for my son, as his teacher was trying to "prepare" the kids for the rigors of junior high.It made for a very stressful year.6th grade is a part of middle school, here.Middle school has been demanding, but very good for my son.His teachers communicate well with us.There are many, many extracurricular activities for kids of all ages.Sports teams are available.The school cafeteria, gym, pool, and library are open to all families of the school. - Dec 2012

I taught 4th grade last year and will teach 7th grade this year. Teachers get along well, work well together and are committed to providing the best education they can. They work quite hard. I haven't met any bad teachers. Sure, some are better than others, but I would warn anyone off of any of the teachers that I've met or worked with. When I was given a choice which teacher I wanted for my own kids (teachers do get that benefit of choosing), I told them I felt comfortable letting them choose based on what they know about my children. I think the school works hard to match kids well and I have faith in the other teachers. I don't know what a non-teaching parent would feel. I'm sure being inside as a teacher, I have a different view. - Aug 2010
