I have been extremely disappointed with Price. The administrators and teachers expect every sixth grader to enter the school as a self-motivated, mature, responsible eleven or twelve year old. They have ridiculously high expectations of every student from the moment they enter middle school. Why not just skip middle school then and go straight to high school? Children are not taught to learn from their academic or social 'mistakes;' mistakes are not tolerated here and are punished too severely. My child cannot wait to leave Price and move on to high school.
Great teachers, very involved with parents. They will keep you informed of all activities -what papers or grades your kids are bringing home for review, what projects they are working on, school activities- everythin! Something very valuable when kids enter teenage years and don't communicate with us parents too much.
If you have a top-notch student who is responsible and self-motivated, and/or who is involved in extracurricular activities, Ida Price can be a great school. I say 'can be' because it greatly depends on the teacher your child gets--some of them are fantastic, while others are utterly horrible. Academic expectations are high, and there is no tolerance for any sort of failings on the part of the students whatsoever, particularly by 8th grade. They fully expect 13-year-olds to be as responsible as adults. In my opinion, there is no acknowledgement that these students are human beings, not little robots who can be told what to do and expected to perform at 100% at all times. And no excuses! That said, the available extracurricular activities are extensive, and they do a lot of 'school spirit' work. If your child is a great student, and gets a good teacher, you'll be pleased here.
