Hi all, my daughter was offered a spot in the Big Picture School (Bellevue, Seattle) which is a choice program. I am new to the area and dont have many friends who can guide. When I checked GreatSchools and Niche, I did not find exciting stats on math and reading proficiency. Posted on a facebook group where I came across parents who are extremely happy and parent who are extremely unhappy. I am totally confused and hoping on an anonymous forum like this, I will get some fair pointers on how this school actually is. Also, need understanding on how the college acceptance rates for this school are. Thanks in advance
In my experience, great school and the like can be pretty accurate. Both the positives and the negatives. I think you glean the most by reading all reviews closely. Are people critiquing one grade? One teacher? Overall culture? Quality of academics? Next door while allow you to find families, real names tend to keep things positive. Finally, most PTA and Facebook groups will answer questions.
