School Reviews

I am a parent of two students at Stonehedge elementary School, one going into fourth grade and one going into second grade. Two things that I think illustrate the type of academics at Stonehege. My first grader was having some difficulty with reading. I have always tried to do a bedtime story with the kids and really did not notice a problem with the way he read. His teacher started him on a reading intensive program with us involved. He would bring from one to five books home a couple of times a week and would read to us. We would write down our feedback as to how he did. In school he would go to a reading class everyday to work with a teacher in a small group setting. Now it is the end of the school year and he is reading fluently and at his age level. My third grader scored high on the SAT tests and was placed in a special class two days a week for advanced students. They met 2 days a week in a small group setting and worked on special projects together. They are just completing a model rollercoaster that will be displayed later this month. There are flaws - no all day kindergarten being one of my pet peeves but parents are involved and the teacher take the time to know your child.
