[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wishing him the best. Many Marshall pyramid families have the perception that we have fabulous ESs and a great HS, but that MS has been lacking. Hopefully some changes can be made to make them a good 2 years for the kiddos. [/quote]

Fabulous elementary schools feed into Marshall? That has not been our experience and with many in our neighborhood. (A good chunk of neighbors fled to private.)[/quote]

Of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most.[/quote]

This was true for our over capacity Marshall ES feeder. We were over capacity, and due to the number of families that left during covid (and didn’t return), we no longer have the capacity issues. [/quote]

Why all the secrecy? Just name the school(s), PPs. "I hate my marshall school." "All the parents left our school for private." I was just looking at the capacity dashboard the other day as well as the capital improvement plan and I didn't notice any substantial shifts in any ES over/under-enrollment. So which school is this where everyone left - name it so we can go look at the dashboard.[/quote]

Many have left Shrevewood. The school used to be over capacity.  It's slightly under.  It didn't help (or helped)  that many left for Lemon Road because they got rid of the Local Level IV program. [/quote]

Looks like Shrevewood had 793 kids in January 2019 and has 657 now. That's a fairly large drop, but maybe there are other elementary schools with similar enrollment losses.

In any event, it would seem like it was more Covid/program-related than related to dissatisfaction with the school.  The current principal is much better liked than one of his predecessors.  [/quote]
