[quote=Anonymous]Exactly. Families that leave for these other schools almost always do so before middle school -- it's nearly impossible to get into these other schools after 5th grade. Totally understandable -- High School anxiety is real. However, the choice is not usually made based on first-hand experience with ITDS middle school, but rather desire to go to a different middle school that tracks into a high school. Of course it would be nice if ITDS also had a guaranteed high school option! [quote=Anonymous]Too small middle school, not enough high achieving peer group or rigor, lacking in extracurriculars and sports. The thing that unites the "better charters" mentioned above is that they all have high schools; ITDS does not. We are lucky to have JR as our zoned high school. But families that *don't* have WOTP options might find those other charters significantly more attractive given they guarantee a decent or strong high school experience.[/quote][/quote]
