[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reopening this older thread in the hopes that some of the posters (or new ones) can give updates on how ITS and Seaton have done for their kids, especially those who were hoping for a bit of challenge and smalller ratios. We are facing a similar scenario this year, and I know this year (and last) have been ... unusual, but still trying to evaluate these schools in the hopes that next year will be open and back to normal. So if anyone has updated experiences to share I’d love to hear them! TIA!![/quote]

I'm the original OP. We stayed at Seaton and it was immediately clear that it was a great decision. Zero regrets. He is in 1st grade now and his teachers have continued to challenge him -- last assessments he was working at a almost 3rd grade level in both Math and Literacy, and his teachers keep pushing the edge. We have even been impressed with what they have done virtually -- small groups, individualized math work for each student, a book club with the librarian for the top readers, a 1:1 reading tutor of all kids who are above or below grade level. He kept learning a lot this year.

As of this week, both my kids (I also have a 3 year old) are back in the building for 4.5 days a week.

Beyond the nice feeling of being at our neighborhood school and walking/biking every day, I do feel a made the right choice academically.

Middle School is still an open question. we decided to conquer that when we get there.
