[quote=Anonymous]I wasn't able to attend the Takoma Park info meeting tonight and wondered if anyone else who did could share notes? 
Also, does anyone have comparisons to offer from within your own family? Do you have one kid who went to 1 of the 3 schools and another who went to another? I know the advice is to wait and see whether your child gets in but if you get lucky and have a choice, you want to be informed enough to decide quickly and confidently.
 I'm interested in the practical pros and cons of each school. I hadn't heard that Eastern kids usually don't take a foreign language in 6th grade, so that's exactly the kind of detail I'd like to know. (By the way, is there an after-school club in foreign language or some way to get that?) I hear SSI has a block schedule - do the others? Can you share more details about the homework load at TPMS and Eastern? (For comparison, DC is at Pine Crest magnet and it's been less brutal than we feared, at least so far). What are the after-school opportunities and what's the overall social climate of each school like?
Any thoughts welcome.[/quote]
