I love Arnold! The staff are wonderful and the teachers are great! The standard of learning is high. My son has Mrs.Yeh and she is very passionate with her teaching and full of energy. Arnold not only focus in higher learning but also stresses the importance of character building so the kids at Arnold are very friendly and welcoming of new students.
The principal and teachers are personable, but I think a lot of teaching is left to the parent. Lots of homework, and a lot of it is not practicing what they learned at school, but must be taught at home. It is also not the best school choice if your child is in need of special education services. They lack use and knowlege of research based proven methods of remediation for specific learning disabilities (a.k.a dyslexia). I ended up having to pull my child from this school.
Arnold is an amazing school. My son is in kindergarten with Mrs. Wu and he is reading and doing math. The children go to music and P.E. and there is a lot of one on one attention. I would highly recommend any parent to enroll their child at Arnold.
my child has been going to arnold since k and is now in 6th grade. she has had some wonderful teachers and others who simply teach to the test. students are covered on the things they need to know in order to score well on the state tests. however parents are many times expected to teach the rest to thier children at home. not enough money is allocated for the arts. they only get half the year for music etc. my daughter hasnt yet had an opportunity to be in a play. some years they have it and some years they dont. the principal it a kind knowlagable man who works well with the children. there is lots of parental involvement and it is always welcomed. a very good school that lacks a little in a well rounded experience for the kids due to the consentration on the state tests.
