[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are at Brent, and have close friends at Maury.

From our experience and theirs, I think the community at Maury is a little crunchier and down-to-earth (and probably more my style), but the teachers at Brent have the edge.  One of my kids has special needs, and the special ed team now in place at Brent is very strong.

Other that SWS and Brent, Maury is the best on the Hill.  I wouldn't hesitate to send my kids there.  I even have faith that Maury community might be able to held lift up and diversify Eliot-Hine. [/quote]

Are you me?  I could have posted most of this.  Also at Brent, also 1 kid with SN, also have friends who love Maury.  Maury is a great school, very strong principal, super strong PTA.  Wonderful community, great kids, a little rough around the edges with a few of the teachers still embracing an older style of teaching than a lot of us would like to see (a little more stern than I would prefer).  I would not hesitate to put a child at Maury.  Middle school feeds are tough all around and even Deal isn't for everyone (great school, but bigger than some kids need).  I had the philosophy of waiting to worry about middle school when we got closer to middle school and it has worked out well.  I wouldn't even begin to worry about middle school for a 2-y-o because you just don't know what's going to be out there 9 years down the road. [/quote]
