[quote=Anonymous]OP - If you are willing to "out" your school that would be great too. I ask because my family is moving soon, and we are relatively flexible with where we can move, largely prohibited by cost only. One of my priorities is finding an elementary I really feel comfortable and happy sending my kid to, based on what I know about my kids personality and my personal preferences.

I visited Murch and Eaton prior to the pandemic.  I was very happy with what I saw in Murch.  There seemed to be less emphasis on testing and the numbers that could be pulled from the kids. And, more of creating an environment best for the children to actually learn in. However, the housing in the area is super small and fairly expensive.  So, I do not think we will be able to move into this district.  I often peruse this site to see what parents are saying about schools, and more often than not, there is a lot of postivity towards the schools they are zoned for.  Which is great,  but I think schools all have their drawbacks and depending on specifically what you seek for your child, they are all going to be a better or worse fit.

We are zoned for Garrison.  And, thus far we have actually had an amazing experience.  Our teacher is amazing.  And the prinicipal is pretty wonderful.  We are leaving because of the uptick in crime specific to our block, and some incidents we have had that make it very hard to feel safe anymore.  What I dislike most in the school is that we have not experienced a great deal of social/emotional development. Though we have only been virtual and my kid is in K, so it is hard to know what happens in person in a normal year.  I do wish 15 minutes a day was spend on some sort of work toward this sort of growth.[/quote]
