here the deal, All I was told TWO TEACHERS who have been their awhile who is friends with my friend are leaving. WHY cause they are un happy with olga. And they are not thrilled with the AP. They also said while the Lower school is good the middle school is okay and the high school needs work. I am not making this up. a few weeks ago someone posted on here that they read some review the staff rated the admin poor. DO a search I know its on here. [ Reply | More

I have heard about teachers leaving too. Not a mutiny by any means, but not good for the school either. [ Reply | More

My understanding is there has been friction between some of the teachers from the old administration and the new pricipal since the get go. Having heard what the old principal and others at the school back then did... this sounds like it could be a good thing. (The staff rating you refer to is on the DOE site.) [ Reply | More

As an incoming K parent, my understanding is that the lower school is very strong, with great teachers, middle is weaker but improving every year, and high has a ways to go. But I have confidence that things will continue to improve on all levels, esp. as the school gets a highly selective reputation, and in any case, I'm only concerned about the lower at this point [ Reply | More

My impression after a year there is that a good number of the stronger students leave for other high schools. [ Reply | More
