Actually, this is precisely what's happening already. I can only speak for Maury, where I'm a parent. We've consistently lost our very best students to schools other than Eliot-Hine (Hardy, namely, but also Deal and Stuart-Hobson, more rarely private). One family followed the other and it just kept going. Well, that's no longer the case. From last to this year, a significant number of families with high performing students gave it a go. Many of them have younger siblings still in ES. So I can chat with the parents or sometimes their children to check in. And they're liking it, and so do their children. Mind you, these are parents who place a high emphasis on school and academic performance.[/quote]

What about YOU? Imagine your child is in fifth grade this year and you are looking at Eliot Hine in the fall of 2012.  Is it your first choice for middle school?  A fallback?  Or a no go?  Remember we are talking Eliot Hine as is.  No rose colored glasses allowed.[/quote]
