One of my son's started Birney in K. He's now in the 5th grade. He has always met or exceeded the standards on the CRCT. I'm impressed with the care and attention given by the principal and her staff. The teachers are always approachable. My other son left Birney 2 years ago and was more than prepared for middle school. In fact, he received top honors at a school which ranks 9 on this site. No complaints from me.
My grandson entered Birney in the 3rd grade with a 2.0 reading level. He was in a class size of 12, and an assistant teacher in the classroom full-time. He didn't enter the school until October 2006. He is presently on a fourth grade reading level, and passed his national exams. I believe and know his teacher used multiple strategies to bring all her students up to grade level in reading. Now, he feels good about himself, and wants to read everyday and for everyone he comes in contact with. The staff at Birney, I trust, cares about the children and their academic advancement. You will not be disappointed; even their extracurricular activities are involved and developed to enhance the childrens' cognitive thinking, and social skills.
My son has attended Birney for Kindergarden and 1st grade. I've been very fortunate to have wonderful teachers for that period of time. His current teacher really took a lot of time to prepare them for the CRCT test. We are moving and have to change schools. I will miss his 1st grade teacher.
I have a child who just completed the 3rd grade. I was very impressed with the overall attention my child received from her teacher this year. Her teacher is an experienced teacher with a caring heart. My child's reading level has exceeded my expectations. She is reading on a 7th grade level and doing math on a 6 grade level. She has a great desire to read without me telling her. She lives to go to the library. I do not wait for her teacher to send her to the library, I take her myself to a public library. After all, I am also resposible for her education. Not just her teacher alone.
