[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just ask people in the neighborhood OP. You’ll get better results than here.[/quote]

No, the neighborhood is full of boosters. I worry people who have had bad experiences won't say a word because they are afraid of backlash. [/quote]

Maybe it’s because most of the neighbors who send their kids to EH are pretty content with it? I know I am. The only kids I know of that left before 8th had very specific reasons. [/quote]

No. NP here with a kid at Maury. I don’t talk middle school with other kids’ parents because the pro-EH narrative is so rabid and deciding EH isn’t for your kid is coded as racist/classist/being a bad neighbor. Our decision that it’s not right for our kid is being kept under wraps. Ridiculous it comes to this.[/quote]

My kid was at Maury a few years ago. Plenty of people with older kids told us to apply to the lottery because in their experience 3/4 of the 4th grade wouldn't return for 5th. They were open about where they were applying, in which order, everything. Families wanted to stick together so they'd get together to put their choices in the same order.[/quote]
