Keystone Academy
I've learned a lot with my son.. being the guinea pig. I entered him into kindergarten without taking the readiness test. I truly recommend having your child take before deciding between Y5's (Young 5's) & kindergarten. One of the kindergarten teachers will do the testing & will then meet with you to explain the results. You can then decide what is best for your child. My daughter was recommend for Y5's & she will be starting the program this fall. Y5 students seem to do better. My son struggles a bit, but getting to know his teachers and constant communication helps him a lot. The staff as a whole were pretty good with helping me & me helping them with making my son's school year better. Just like with a good marriage you gotta communicate! Although Keystone is now a focus school I still have faith. I have learned a lot from them. I learned even more as a parent volunteer.
I do see progress with my son & will stay on top of things. You can check your child's status/ progress online "live" & call or email the teacher about any concerns.

The grading system is horrible . They use numbers but not 4=A, 3=B, etc. its something else that makes it difficult for the parents , students and teachers to truly understand how well your child is doing. Also the staff including the principal changes regularly so they really don't get a chance to know the students or the parents . Which makes it difficult for relationships to be developed. Guidelines also change regularly. UGH!... just alot to stomach.
