[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK, but above is a seriously rosy view of the school. Latin Cooper is decent, to be sure, but it's hardly the best thing since sliced bread. Many students come from Capitol Hill, which isn't close. The facilities are minimal and it's not clear what kind of facilities to expect at the Kirov ballet location, or exactly when, plenty of the students are middling or weak, many of the teachers are young and inexperienced. EC's aren't well developed etc. Is Latin Cooper a step up academically from Eliot-Hine, Jefferson and Stuart Hobson. Maybe.  [/quote]

I'm one of the PPs, and I'm not saying it's rosy, but it's a good fit for my child. I am confident the facility at Kirov will be acceptable to amazing. Yes, plenty of students are middling or weak, this isn't a private school or even BASIS, yes, some teachers are young and inexperienced, but some are amazing. ECs: depends on what your kid's needs are, if your kid would benefit from a giant school like Deal, then they'd chafe at Cooper.

I don't have kids at EH, JF, or SH, so can't speak to that. Our primary aim was to leave our elementary school for fifth, my kid was ready for something else. If Cooper hadn't worked out, we might have returned to one of the Hill middle schools. [/quote]
