I think there must be a few parents with an axe to grind. This school is top notch. I have two children who attend this school. The programs are advanced and well-taught. The teachers have access to technologies like class quia websites that give parents calendars of assignments, displays of work, and links to more educational site so that kids can practice math problems at home. I think the principal is heavily involved and deals with matters of discipline immediately. This is a tough school with a rigorous program. The school additionally provides resources if your child falls behind for any reason....and additional programs if your child appears to excel beyond the norm. All in all, we are very pleased with Cold Spring. This is a tough school and the expectations are high!
I disagree & think my kids are getting an excellent education. I've never been turned away from helping in the classroom. I think the level of security is necessary to keep our kids safe. Council Rock is overcrowded & taxes are higher!
I agree that the parents are not teaching basic manners and are more interested in being in the building. I also feel that there is too much of a kids will be kids attitude from the administration and that social emotional growth is not a priority. The academics are not that rigorous and the parents are expected to bring the kids up to the desired level, the teachers do not do a good job at challenging students or being creative - too many dittos/worksheets. The reputation is deceptive and I do not think the district is as good as its reputation. It has also been very difficult to get informatioin from the administration about school events such as assemblies, etc. It's like they are trying to keep parents away, but at the same time still ahve too many Home School Assoc. people wandering the building. Go south to Council Rock.
I think the parents are not involved in the proper way. They seem more interested in benigin the building, instead of having their children properly prepared for class and teaching them some basic manners/acceptable behavior.
