[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Einstein is very good for artsy kids but unfortunately doesn’t offer as much to kids who are interested in other pursuits. For example, there is no stem based academy. [/quote]

It doesn't have a STEM academy but a kid with those interests would do renaissance academy and take the various advanced and AP math and science options, or do IB and take those math and science courses. It certainly doesn't have all the STEM offerings as Blair though, which is much larger and has the magnet.[/quote]

I went to the open house at Einstein in the fall. It was very disappointing. There was no discussion at all about academics and then it was one presentation after another of performing arts.  For a kid that is not interested or talented in the arts, the school isn't appealing.  [/quote]

After the performances, parents and prospective students were invited to visit classes and Main Street to speak with teachers and students from the different academies...[/quote]

That is only partially true.  There was no invitation to visit classes. There were booths along main street that included the academies but were mainly focused on extracurriculars- primarily arts and sports.  [/quote]
