[quote=Anonymous]I have a 6th grader at Eastern, and my older kid did three years at Tilden. Comparatively my 6th grader has a lot more work and more interesting assignments than my oldest ever did, plus she has an amazing peer group. The opportunities at Eastern are fabulous for a kid who loves reading, writing, and communications. It is definitely a longer day and a longer commute but there was no question that my 6th grader would turn down Eastern in favor of Tilden.

The magnet teachers are great. I'm not that impressed with the 6th grade IM math teacher my kid has, though. (Curriculum may be the same but it's all in how it's taught....). Science seems good, certainly no worse than at Tilden.

We also really love the after-school advanced band option. Even though my kid only had two years of clarinet in elementary school, the after-school advanced band class gets a lot of magnet kids and the band director Mr. Puckett does great work getting them all up to speed.

I would definitely go (and take your daughter) to the open house for accepted students. We were sold on the program before my kid applied, but the open house was very useful and informative.[/quote]
