You can check the schools' websites to find out more.
Most schools offer tours in the Spring the tours are typically run by parent volunteers. However, all of the public schools in Albany and in Berkeley are excellent, and if the school they assign is more than 1+ ~ miles away in Berkeley, they will have a school bus for them to get there (K-5 grades.) You are also correct that, although you can rank order your choices, you cannot dictate which of the schools your child will be assigned to if there isn't room at your favorite, or they need to balance out which neighborhood the children come from, or the genders, then that's what they need to do. Welcome to the area! You are correct: American public schools are required by law to educate your child if you live in the city or town where they are located. I agree, middle schoolers should be capable of walking or biking independently and at least some do at AMS. I have been a little surprised the few times I've dropped them off (because they had something bulky or heavy to bring in) how many kids are getting rides to school.
#Elementary school late bird vs early bird meaning full
We have been very happy with the science and math curriculum at the middle school, where there is an advanced math placement option, and we've liked the 8th grade science & math teachers a LOT they are caring and thoughtful.Īt the middle school, my child gets themselves to school and reports the bike cage is full with bikes and scooters. To me this is essential for progress in language and instrumental music, so no complaints. Electives happen on the same schedule as the core classes, basically every day (there is a modified block schedule, which you can read about more on the school website). In seventh grade, they add a second elective, which could be a language or "the wheel" which includes a maker class/home ec/drama. In sixth grade, kids get one elective, which could be music of some sort (band/orchestra/chorus all offered this year).
