[quote=Anonymous]I'm not a current family as my son will start K in the fall. But I live in the neighborhood surrounded by many families whose children attend TPES. Families in my neighborhood seem very happy with TPES - of course there are some challenges like too much indoor recess this winter and a lot of discussion about noise levels during lunch but everyone seems to love their teachers, the principal and the community.  And though it's a large school with many classes per grade people seem to appreciate the warm community feeling of the school. Also, class sizes are smaller than average I believe (18-22 per class).

I recently did a tour there for families of rising K students and was impressed by how many students the principal knew by name, the level of engagement and enthusiasm of the K teachers and children and the facility itself.

Also, very active PTA.

All of that being said...people seem to say that if your child is happy and relatively challenged at your neighborhood school then the magnet isn't really worth the change/commute, etc.  It is really designed for kids that have no peer group in their neighborhood school.
