Seriously lacking in the grade school, but sweet and flowery
in kindergarten. Too bad it stays sweet and flowery in the grades at
the detriment of learning any thing like reading or math. I was very
disappointed about the serious delay in academics, even for Waldorf
standards.
I like the school, but it seriously lacks in governance
and there is cliquey ness within the untrained staff. I find the school
to be clinging onto the pioneering aspects of the school without hiring
and retaining qualified professionals and good teachers. A high
turnover rate it seems. Over the top need for help from parents, yet
help is sorely unappreciated and lead roles are dominated by a few who
seek to gain status and power.

You may ask, "where are all the 5=Star reviews?" Well, the problem with those reviews is that many tend not to be too honest. I have included 4-star reviews that appear honest. Often, gushing reviews are placed by teachers and administrators - as some comments here indicate. "This school educates the whole child!!!" - 5 stars - by Anonymous... I say baloney! Notice, many of the reviewers have been misled by Waldorf and are still buying the PR, even after having been disappointed. Feel free to comment but understand the intent of this blog.
