Kindergarten was great. First grade was good. Second grade is when all the fun in learning is taken away. The superintendent assured me several times through the school year that children are required to have daily recess the principal thinks that structured kid friendly work out videos are sufficient. Recess is only even offered twice a week, and even then, god forbid there’s a cloud nearby, the weather is deemed not favorable and no recess is given, indoor recess is still not a much needed break from learning but another structured activity. This is not the only school in the district with this problem, it’s just the one I can speak to. If you believe recess is an important part of young children’s ability to learn, then this school is not for you. I highly recommend calling any other school in the district to find out what their definition and implementation of recess is before enrolling. And onto the educational aspect... if your child went to pre-k or preschool prior to starting kindergarten, be prepared for a very bored kindergartener as yours will already know everything they’re teaching. It will depend on the individual teacher if they can be bothered to challenge an advanced child (we lucked out here). First and second grade education seems fairly standard. Close Quote

They do not give the students recess on a regular basis. Vocabulary tests use made up definitions that don’t match actual definitions Close Quote
