it might be a little tedious but you can go to "ratemyteachers.com" and search for schools by state and than look at the individual teacher ratings for those schools

Do not go to that school. My son went to this school, it's in Rockland county right? Well, anyway he went for one month and he hated it, there was no one there that he thought he could be friends with and the school is not in a high school based setting either. It's one hall way and like 6 classrooms that are very very small, not to mention that the computers suck. After my son has went to this school he has been having a hard time to fit in, in other schools with other kids. Make the decision that is right for your child and do not send him/her to this school! Hope I helped! Vote best answer!

Some of them do, and some of them don't. The fact that you got put into Dickson means that you are significantly out of area, so this will hinder your chances quite a bit. My best tip to you would be to bluff. Narrabundah is the only school which offers things along the lines of environmental sciences and ecology, so you could always pretend to have a burning love of them. Also, their photography school is meant to be great as well (I never did it, but a few of my friends did) so you could appeal to their vanity and say that you want to do that as well Because they work in a trimester, you can easily do both Environmental sciences and photography for your first semester, then drop them for your second and still make up majors in whatever you swap them for (as they cannot UNenrol you if you make it though the appeal) I hope that this helps!

Asking parent reviews on Abeka curriculum for grade school students
Asking parent reviews on Abeka curriculum for grade school students?
My son is a first grader currently attending a Private Christian School, who teaches with Abeka up to the sixth grade level. I am concern that it will not challenge him enough in the years to come. At what point should I remove him, I am hearing different reviews. Any parents that can assist....Comment please!

From what I've seen, remove him immediately. Abeka is not considered 'education' in many subjects, especially science - your child will be very far behind when he enters a real school. It's just religious propaganda.

The best way to know the quality of service of any company would be to ask previous students. Were they satisfied with what they paid for? Also consider other things: 1 Price - a low price doesn't necessarily mean that it is better. look at the over-all program and value-added services 2 Accessibility 3 Office hours 4 Availability of teachers - ask when the teachers are available for consultation. Some centers say that they have an unlimited program but the teachers come only on specific times. They might not even be able to assist you since they also conduct classes. The most important thing for me is the care of the office staff and the flexibility of the Review center. From what I have heard, World English Reviews has a lot of positive feedback from my friends and they actually adjust to your needs., not the other way around. Maybe because they are a young company and they want to prove something.
