[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm so sad that my child will be going to Swanson next year.  I'm a stone's throw away, so moving to another school is ridiculous. I wanted so much better for the MS experience.  I wish I could afford private.[/quote]

My son is in 7th at Swanson and he has had a great experience.  Great teachers for the most part and the school doesn’t seem overcrowded to him.  Lunch is kind of crazy, but that’s all I’ve heard. [/quote]

Most of the teachers, staff and the principal (and the new one is much better than the one who just moved to Yorktown IMO) try their best to deal with the overcrowding. For the most part I don’t think teaching has suffered and since I’ve had 4 DCs go thru the school over the past 10 years, I’d notice. But there is just no getting around the fact that there are way too many students for the space and all of the consequences the other PPs mentioned are accurate.  I also have an 8th grader and he was fine with the overcrowding until this year.  Seems like it just finally hit him and he’s had enough. He’s applied to a couple privates for HS so we’ll see what happens bc WL is our HS, which was a great HS when my other DCs went there but that was when the WL graduating classes were the same size as the current 8th grade class at Swanson.[/quote]
