Bryn Mawr Elementary School

Posted November 1, 2007

This school has a new principal for 2007. Based on observations so far, under her leadership, this school will not continue on the previous upward trajectory that we've seen. The 2007 enrollment process was terrible. The school fails to adequately keep parents informed of important issues. While my daughters kindergarten teacher was amazing, her first grade teacher is very inexperienced and was unfamiliar with the curriculum for the year during the first parent-teacher night. There are not enough resources to address the varying skill levels in the classrooms or to provide language skills support to the high ESL population. Overall, this school seems to be going down-hill. On the positive, the reading program has been very successful, but that seems to be the only area of success.

My daughter is a 2nd grader, and we have been very pleased with the school so far. She is now reading at 4th grade level, and her teacher makes an extra effort to keep her challenged in math. Considering the lack of parent involvement and high number of low-income and ELL students, the teachers do a wonderful job.

Both my son and daughter went to Bryn Mawr Elementary. For our family it was a very positive experience. I felt that the implementation of the SFA reading program was a wonderful addition to the curriculum. Both my children benefited from SFA.

I think Bryn Mawr is ok but they need to understand people from different ethnic backgrounds a little better.
