[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're commuting from in-boundary for Eliot-Hine to a Wells feeder for my kid's elementary, so we know how much the commute sucks, but he's thriving there. E-H is an option by right, Wells is the feeder pattern from his current lottery spot, and there's a complex other channel that would open up John Francis with a group of kids from his current school.

I just don't have a really good grasp of any of the schools. Wells is new and I don't know much about it. I've heard good things about John Francis but I'm not sure it makes sense. E-H is improving but I don't know if it's improved enough to be a good choice.

My kiddo is really enthused about music, so the quality of the music program is something we'd love to know about.

I’m the EH parent. I will make my case that attending the IB school has huge benefits in terms of independence and social life. Kids can walk themselves to school and it’s much easier to make neighborhood friends. But if your kiddo has some friends from elementary and you already have your commute worked out to Wells, then that can be good too. I seriously doubt there’s much if any academic difference between Wells and EH. Eastern does have a new honors program but not sure how that is going in reality. [/quote]
