There was a teacher in the hall and she told me to hang up or put her on hold I don't specifically remember. But I hanged up the phone. I wasn't a joking type kid since I was quiet. So I wouldn't do this type thing on purpose. The next part is the part is about this principal with curly blond hair. She stormed down to the classroom very angry. And asked the class who picked up the phone. I can't remember if my classmates said me or I said me. By this time the teacher in the hall was gone. So she took me outside or in the classroom and humiliated me and yelled at me. Told me I had lunch detention and I was crying cuz I felt bad but I really didn't do anything wrong. This was this ladies issue she decided to vent on a little kid. I was a really good kid I made a small mistake but the princepal with blonde curly hair and an ego decided to take it to a whole other level and ruin my day. Made me take a slip home to get signed by my parents. Anyways shoutout to the really cool teachers that use to work there in the early 2010's ive never really had a problem with any of the teachers all are quite nice when I went there. Shoutout ms Bennet, ms Kennedy ik there was other cool teachers there but those were the kindest souls and I hope there doing well.

You'd think that 8 years of school with all the same people would be way to much. You'd be right…read more Mostly. One great thing about Masterman is that you are with your fellow students day in and day out. So much that these people become your best friends and some of the friendships you make here will last longer than your can imagine. As a moderately intelligent kid with overambitious parents, I had to take and pass a test in the fourth grade to get into this premier magnet school. While I have no basis of comparison as to the quality of education at Masterman, I do know that attending this school exponentially increases your changes of going to a great IVY league college. About the top 1/3 of students here get accepted into several IVY League colleges. About half of those students go to UPenn (the IVY in your backyard). Masterman prides itself in stating that 100% of its students go to a 4 year college. The reality is that Masterman will force all its students to go to accredited 4 year colleges, whether they wish to or not (a friend who wanted to go abroad was strongly discouraged from this option). I've always thought that a preparation school would be responsible for two things: 1) getting it's kids to good colleges, which Masterman excels at; and 2) preparing the kids for college, which, sadly, Masterman did not do as good of a job at. I'm not sure if it's exactly the classes, the depth of materials taught, or the lack of emphasis on retaining what is learned, but most of my friends and acquaintances felt as I did that Masterman did not prepare them well for college. Then again, it could have been me (how many kids do you know take school seriously?) Part of the problem was the lack of funding. The only things I've dissected before going to college was an amoeba and a worm. When I got to Penn, I found that most of my fellow classmates had already done many of the labs in my basic science classes, while everything was all new to me. I've never seen most of the lab equipment, computers/programs they used at college (we had old microscopes - so I at least knew what that was), and it was mildly embarrassing for me to ask questions that most of my classmates considered to be standard knowledge. Part of it is that the school is so focused on getting everyone into the advanced courses that they sometimes forget to focus enough on the basics. This holds true for the trig through Calc 3 classes but not for algebra and geometry. Mr. Goldman (who taught algebra and geometry in 7th and 8th grade) would test us on both the advanced and basic problems - best math teacher ever. That being said, students who go to Masterman are generally very successful and pursue stable, steady, successful careers. Many have gone into law, medicine, PhD programs doing really interesting things with obscure titles. The only reason I seem critical is due to the fact that I am not sure what a preparatory school is suppose to do. Going to Masterman made it not difficult to get into a great college. However, in terms of basic skills/knowledge, I still get teased by my husband who went to a much lower ranked public school (same area) that had a LOT of funding from property tax dollars and he was able to somehow retain/learn a lot more basic knowledge than I did. He also tutored me in chemistry, back in college (although if anyone's ever had chemistry with Dr. Ranjini, they'd understand my willingness to block that part of my memories).

To my knowledge, there's rarely a discipline problem or any type of bullying. Instead, there's heated classroom discussion and early morning EC activities. Who can complain?

When researching…read moreschools, what stood out right away was the clarity of its priorities: real content, meaningful learning, and a rigorous, rich curriculum delivered in a way that's age-appropriate and joyful. For years, we've happily driven our daughter all the way from the city so she could attend, because it felt too important not to make it work.MLCA students' mastery across diverse subjects such as history, math, French, art history, and piano is truly impressive for children of their age. But just as striking is the wholesome, grounded atmosphere in which kids can be kids, treat one another with kindness, and learn without unhealthy competition. "Classical" at MLCA feels welcoming rather than stiff, with families bringing different perspectives while sharing a commitment to serious learning. I especially think MLCA can be a great fit for expat families who are looking for a curriculum more similar to that of European schools and who would like their kids to be challenge without any of the unhealthy competition an obsession over test scores.

RTELC has been such a special place for our family and has given our children an incredible foundation during some of their most important early years. What makes Rose Tree so exceptional is how genuinely they live out their mission and values every single day. The school creates a safe, nurturing, stimulating, and inclusive environment where children are encouraged to grow into capable, confident, kind, and independent little people. There is such a strong emphasis on compassion, diversity, inclusivity, and helping every child reach their fullest potential - and you truly feel that in everything they do. The teachers are extraordinary. They are warm, loving, patient, and deeply invested in each child, while also providing the structure and guidance needed to encourage positive behavior, confidence, and growth. You can tell they view teaching as much more than a job - they put their heart and soul into making every child feel valued and special. One of the things we appreciated most was how much learning happens through creativity, exploration, and play. Our children genuinely looked forward to going to "school" every single day. RTELC somehow balances a fantastic educational curriculum with an environment that still feels joyful, relaxed, and centered around childhood wonder and discovery. The community they create for families is also incredibly special. From the amazing art show (which honestly rivals many elementary school productions!) to craft nights, holiday celebrations, and end-of-year performances that somehow make parents smile, laugh, and cry all at once - every detail is thoughtful and meaningful. We are endlessly grateful for the love, care, professionalism, and dedication the entire RTELC team has shown our family. Rose Tree is truly a remarkable community, and we will miss it tremendously when our time there comes to an end.
