The school does not offer much in social studies. English is average. Math is above average. The teachers are good. I find it hard to assess my child's actual performance because there are no grades. Also the student teacher ratio is 20 to 1 unless you are in a special class.
A fantastic school, beats any elementary school. Great teachers and a wonderful way of learning. All children should have the chance to learn as this school teaches.
VSY has a very strong determination for students to succeed. That's the good news and, in some ways, the bad news. My kindergartner has impressed me over and over, and enjoys the Montessori manipulatives. The downfall is this- pressure and anxiety overflow because of FCAT and testing- (NCLB?) This may or may not be burdening staff, but it IS effecting the kids. I have seen and heard administrators and parents discuss student anxiety and pressure- as young as 1st grade. P.E., Art, and Music cut to a minimum. Teacher/school pressure for good test scores is increasing and there is currently a need for balance.
