[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is a very diverse school, which has its benefits and drawbacks. When spring distance learning started, there were at least double the amount of messages about food as there was about distance learning.  My daughters PE class in the blended population couldn’t speak English enough to organize games and play anything.  Some of these things were no big deal. Some made me feel like her experience would have been better at our home school.

The building should be condemned. Gosh it’s just depressing.

Agree that having friends spread across half the county makes it hard. It’s actually turned out to be a plus in the pandemic, oddly enough, because they had already established good methods of socializing remotely.

That’s going to be the case with any magnet program, though. But after going to both ES and MS magnets, my kid felt pretty confident they’d be likely to know someone in whatever HS they ended up at. “Where their friends were going” didn’t even factor into their decisions. [/quote]
