by a parent
Sunday, January 10, 2010

Although this school may have good academic rankings and resides in a VERY affluent area (this means lots of private donations) this school lacks a personal touch. When a student falls in academic standing the teachers and staff seem to give the student enough rope to hang themselves. They are slow to pick up on the decline and even slower to involve the parents until it's almost too late in the academic year to make up work.

This school is fine if your kid fits neatly in the middle of the bell curve, but if your student is an outlyer (too shy, a little immature, not exactly good looking (the kids can be mean) then this is NOT the school for you. Close Quote

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
