[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks for the feedback, commute is actually not a concern since they're about the same distance for us - just a tough decision and seems like it's a question of big fish in little pond or little fish in big pond re: college admission - though I think I'd value the critical thinking skills of Eastern over the college ranking.  I'm just more worried of the social aspect I guess...[/quote]

We had the same choice and chose Eastern twice. Kids really learn to write there, which doesn’t happen in a regular MCPS class, unfortunately. You can go back to your home school for HS if you want after. MS is such a weird time I really wouldn’t choose a school based on a current cohort bc things change so, so much. I am convinced that it’s in MS that kids kind of decide what kind of a student they’re going to be, and I wanted my kids to see all their peers trying to do well. There’s a definite too cool for school thing going on in MS ( I am a 9th grade teacher) that Eastern sidesteps. Don't worry about college yet, please. Does your child want to go? [/quote]
