Academically the school is great. As for the student to teacher ratio, it is awful. My child's teacher openly admits that she doesn't have enough time for my advanced child. I have asked for some support from the child psychologist at the school at least 4 times, and have yet to receive the support my daughter needs.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Vermont used the New England Common Assessment Program (NECAP) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 11 in reading and math, grades 5, 8 and 11 in writing and grades 4, 8 and 11 in science. The NECAP reading, math, and writing tests are given in the fall and test students on content taught in the previous year. The science portion of the NECAP is administered in the spring each year. The NECAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Vermont. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level on the test.
