[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would recommend that you apply and then decide.  When we first applied, we were pretty sure that we would not be accepting.  But after the open house, DD wanted to try it.  So we did end up going. She loves it.  I was really worried about her friends from her home school but we make an effort to do playdates and also almost all her activities are with friends from her old school.  This will be her last year.  We definitely plan to go to our home middle school.

However, the caveat is that the HGC school is only 1 more mile from our house.  So we end up dropping her off and picking her up.  So there isn't much difference.  [/quote]
+1 for my DC, too, except DC's bus ride was about 40min or so, and DC ended up not socializing much with kids from neighborhood ES while at HGC.  DC is now in 6th and didn't want to try for MS magnet because of the long commute, which I agreed with.

Having some of DC's HGC friends at the neighborhood MS has helped with the MS transition.

I didn't enjoy the haul over to the HGC school whenever they had some event going on over there. It mostly occurs during the evening, and trying to fit dinner in, fight the commute, and haul my younger DC with us in the evening was not fun.

Still, DC really enjoyed it and is encouraging #2 to apply.  [/quote]
