[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We lasted one year. Our leaving had nothing to do with fights etc. It was simply too far. My daughter caught bus to Blair and waited for another. She was doing close to 11 hour days and then had 2 sometimes 3 hours homework. It was a great program but now at Farquhar we don't feel there has been a drop off in level of instruction. Perhaps only major difference is a lot less homework. Good luck in your decision. It truly is a family commitment.[/quote]

My daughter has loved Eastern and I have LOVED the friends she has made there.  Bright, self-confident girls and boys from all races and socio-economic backgrounds.  I have really treasured that -- our home middle school is academically excellent but the kids are well-off and there is too much of a focus on material possessions.    My daughter is a bright, quiet child and Eastern has brought her personality out more.  Thank you Eastern!  The friends she has made will be LIFE-LONG.

Depending on where you live, it is, however, quite the family commitment -- well worth it but you and your child should calculate the time impact if she has to take the bus and/or your family impact if you drive both ways.
