[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I hope that some of the people swearing to go private or move actually visit the schools they are maligning, meet the principals and talk to current parents.

To potentially be rezoned from Henry to Drew, which by all accounts is even a 4 on GS only because of the Montessori program bundled into its scores, is a pretty legitimate concern IMO. I would have never originally bought a house zoned for Drew. If that’s flame-worthy, so be it I guess. I’ll give the entirety of the situation full consideration when the time comes. [/quote]

Yeah, you have to understand a family's frustration if the difference in schools is that stark. I don't think most people would uproot their family if say, they got rezoned from an 8 school to a 6. Maybe even a 5 is worth checking out and giving the benefit of the doubt before deciding. But when you start seeing 3's and 4's at the elementary level it's cause for at least some concern. It's even different than being rezoned to a lower-ranking high school, because by that time your much older teenager has already made friends at his/her feeder school, been involved in extracurricular activities and you've got a pretty good handle on their aptitude and abilities.
