[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not Eaton. The school is currently under construction, so they've put the kids in a temporary "swing space" at another nearby site. Frankly, the temporary facility looks like a jail.

Doesn’t sound like you have actually been there or are connected with Eaton.

OP, the schools are comparable with a few differences that may or may not be important to you or your children. Within the boundaries of both schools you will find a variety of housing including SFHs/duplexes/condos/apts and depending on where you are, can be pretty close to metro and basic shopping and restaurants. As for the schools, Eaton is undergoing a reno but the swing space (I have been there) is fine esp for one year with the promise of a fully renovated school after. Murch which occupied the same swing space (with no particularly alarming effects on the kids) was renovated in 2016-2018. Going forward, Eaton will be larger but not as large as Murch. Murch has a larger outdoor space. I cannot compare the interior spaces (gym, cafe, etc) since I haven’t seen the plans for Eaton. Murch feeds to Deal MS, Eaton to Hardy. Both are fine. Deal has a bit better rep right now but plenty of people prefer the smaller and less crowded atmosphere at Hardy. By the time your kids are in MS, things will likely be different.
