[quote=Anonymous]I recently made a really similar decision (I'm the Seaton vs ITS OP). We went with ITS and are very excited about it (mostly after talking to current parents of older kids and teachers there about specifics in regards to academics.)

However, if we were IB for Shepherd instead of Seaton, I would have stayed at Shepherd.

Some reasons:

- commute. For us, the distances are similar enough -- both schools are walkable.

- neighborhood school feel: While it feels wonderful to be a part of a rising neighborhood school, Seaton does not have a critical mass of neighborhood kids in our grade yet. There are a few wonderful families, but we honestly will probably have the same number in our neighborhood at ITS.

- middle school: we don't have a viable middle school, so the ITS middle school (which i learned about IRL, including details like which high schools the graduating 8th graders got into) and feel is a real option, and maybe a wonderful one. You, however, have an amazing middle school and high school option![/quote]
