Is Stokes really all that and more?

1) the majority of the school kids are from low income families---- i.e. a high FARM rate
2) test scores for these FARM kids were abysmal
3) the upper grade kids were not well behaved during the open house we attended i.e. cursing and yelling in the hallways
4) the school building is nice but very overcrowded
5) the pre-k program seemed like an afterthought

so for us it did not seem all that

Blessing in disguise that your family chose other options.

Stokes is not a big school and have around 25 kids per grade, ~75% FARMS and ~60% at or above grade level in reading and math.

We also looked at Stokes a few yrs ago and admittedly did not apply (although it's doubtful we would have got in.)
