[quote=Anonymous]So much meldodrama, PP. Most of us longtime Hill denizens are just glad when local families find an elementary school they like well enough to stay, rather than moving to the burbs for schools. Any school that keeps dear neighbors and friends around will do.

If you want to try public school on the Hill, Brent is very likely fine to 5th, Maury is very likely fine to 5th, Ludlow is probably fine in the lower grades and really coming along in the upper grades. SWS has been fine for 25 years but PreS3 applicants gain access in the single digits (so not an option for 90% of the families who try for it). Peabody's great and Watkins seems to work in the lower grades for around half the Peabody families, maybe a third of them in the upper grades.  JO Wilson, Payne and Miner have started keeping a good many IB families for K and maybe 1st grade.  PARCC scores aren't much discussed around here, other than in a small subset of the population prioritizing closing the achievement gap.[/quote]
