[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any reason you aren't considering Latin, which is probably the best middle school for an "above average but not stellar student"?  We aren't there btw, but have been through this decision (also zoned for Cardozo high) and if you were my friend (maybe you are!), that would be my recommendation.

For Francis vs SH -- SH has better academics at the top end (Geometry and National History Day), but Francis is smaller and maybe a less chaotic environment? And there is more buy-in every year from engaged parents and a push for stronger advanced work. So there is some hope for that.

We were at a Francis feeder and my main reservation with it is that they are way too dependent on screens and apps. [/quote]

Depending on what you are looking for, EH is going to be similar size to SH by next year - their enrollment was 415 this year, and due to a smaller 8th grade class that is moving to high school this summer, their projected enrollment is 500+ for next year. IMO, higher enrollment does mean things are a bit busier, but it also means more funding, more clubs and sports, more advanced classes, and more electives/arts. [/quote]

Zero chance I’d choose EH over SH and OP isn’t even asking about EH. [/quote]
