[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't comment on SAES, but I have one child at an independent school and one at Eastern MS.

Here are the pros and cons of Eastern from my experience:

Cons:
* Outdated physical building, slated for improvements down the road but not in the next 3 years
* Large school, all of the normal problems of a big public MS
* Long commute from your side of town (although the kids on the bus seem not to mind too much)
* Only one elective for Humanities kids, which forces them to choose between fine arts and world languages

Pros: 
* Free
* Experienced magnet teachers and magnet coordinator
* Rigorous coursework and cohesive Humanities curriculum designed to be taught across disciplines
* Support for state and national competitions like National History Day and C-Span Student Cam that can strengthen HS applications

I would add that the cohort at the Eastern Magnet is a group of really bright, academically minded kids.  Probably more so than SAES.

Check out the old threads. A few posters described the cohort in very unpleasant but accurate terms. [/quote]
