[quote=Anonymous]Garrison and John Lewis have really strong school leadership and this impacts the experience in a variety of ways -- excellent teachers, the leadership tries to meet the needs of all the demographics in their diverse school, and both of these schools have lots of extras (like a school play, which the PP above mentioned). All the families I know at these schools are effusive about their experience.

Francis has a beautiful new building and a  warm middle school that is a genuine option. And the interest is growing. so I think that's first because you could be satisfied through 8th, and then the school will help your kid find a high school that fits. But now that I know you live in CH, maybe not. Commute matters a lot in elementary school, and you can solve the middle school issue later.

ITS you have to visit yourself -- the academics have pros and cons, but the vibe and school culture are not for everyone.

Seaton has a warm community, but the test scores declined since the school changed leadership. There are a variety of factors that led to that happening, and it could be fixed in the future. The new teachers that have been hired are all really good. It is also missing some of the extras that Garrison and John Lewis have (the play, sports). And the swing space is going to be annoying for the next two years.

And Lee and EL Haynes just going based on test scores. [/quote]
