[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like people have had very different experiences there in the past two years since class size and grade size has increased dramatically. I’ve heard overwhelmingly wonderful things from people who have already had kids graduate from PBES. 
 
[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PBES splits the grade in two so that lunch and recess are smaller. TPES doesn’t do that, so when the grade is 230 vs 160, it’s just a lot more hectic. [/quote]

All but one of the grades at TPES were below 200 last year, according to the at a glance.

[b]Nevertheless, I have to disagree with the PP's assessment. It was so well run that my kids hardly noticed. [/b]
Just imagine lunch at Blair with 3000+ kids. These judgments are relative.[/quote]

I sent three kids through these schools and felt they were well-run and organized.

The scale was more of a benefit than a liability since this allowed for many extras like math acceleration or additional STEM units.

Like the PP, my kids also preferred the TPES model since they could visit with friends during lunch and recess.[/quote][/quote]
