The negative comments that appear below bear little resemblance to the Peabody that my children attend. The school does in fact offer very significant subject acceleration to students and highly differentiates the lessons/work in subjects. The teachers have been very helpful and professional. My children really love the school. Is it perfect - no - there are things that could be singled out. But, some of the comments here are simply wrong.

Peabody School has fallen away from its original commitment to teach gifted children. The classes are moderately paced.

My son was admitted to Peabody elementary with a weaker background than many in his class. He was immediately placed in the "lowest learning group" and his self-esteem took a beating under the censorious eyes of his classmates. His education was further disrupted when his teacher was fired/left in midsemester. We got him to a more congenial environment the following year, and he is now a high-performing middle schooler. He recently asked me why I had "made" him go to Peabody, and I regret that he did.
