The school committee here highlights the positives of course, but this town's graduating class can't really get into ivy leagues. I have three children attending school here. I too moved to this "elite" town hoping for the most challenging education for my kids, but so far, I'm disappointed at their middle school. My daughter attends sixth grade and to date, she's had open book exams in science and math and study guides in English class that mimic the actual test. How lenient can the teachers get? I wrote to the principal before Thanksgiving and got a response. I wrote again after Christmas break and got no response. Their elementary schools so far are ok. My other daughter's in the French immersion program, and I think she'd be better off just sticking to English if I had to choose again. They take French for two years only and then back to the regular curriculum. I'm sure she'll forget her "quelle heure est t'il" by fifth grade.
