[quote=Anonymous]For how you describe your kid, it is a solid choice. There will be peers and issues at the school that are not what your suburban friends are dealing with, but there are also fantastic teachers and admins, and lots of opportunities for arts and clubs. Because the school is smaller there may be fewer niche clubs (chess, etc) but the upside is that your kid can do the school play and sports much more easily.

The only academic qualm I have is math instruction. EH tracks like all DCPS MS (your kid can do algebra in 7th or possibly 6th) but the computer based instruction is just awful. But I think these growing pains are the same everywhere so unless your alternative is a gifted school of some sort, you need to stay on top of math.

High school results are strong albeit the issue is that no matter how good your kid is they may get rejected. So you need a backup plan that is either Eastern or something else. (despite what people say it is not super easy to get into a private at 9th either.) [/quote]
