[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]West Springfield is far superior in many ways.  It is also slated to be completely rebuilt in a couple of years.  The neighborhoods zoned for it are so nice - walkable and family-friendly.  It is a good time to buy there, but do it soon as prices are on the way up - or so says DCUM.[/quote]

Care to elaborate on the many ways in which you think West Springfield is far superior? I'm not saying it isn't true, I would just appreciate some actual perspective. And, no, I don't mean the rating of Lee vs. WS on greatschools, I mean actual first or second hand experience with either school. [/quote]
Sure.  From firsthand experience.  We are in Lee and do not tell teachers are invested in the school.   My sister and her family are at WSHS and so many of the teachers are part of the community, living in the neighborhoods.  The PTA is great and families are encouraged to be involved.  I am desperate to get over there before my second starts high school.  Just wish we had been there for MS, too.  Irving is great.  ES was okay for us, but Cardinal Forest seemed great.  I hate that she was right!  Now we just need to find a house.  C'mon spring market!!![/quote]

Those sound like some great things about WSHS, but I didn't hear a lot of specifics about Lee.   Are you saying that the teachers at Lee are not invested in the school?  What has led you to that conclusion? Have you been involved with Lee's PTA?  Are parents not encouraged to be involved?  Sounds like you didn't like Key MS either.  I'd be interested to hear anything you have to offer about Key too.  I'm really just curious since my wife and I moved into the Lee pyramid last year and I want to learn more about the schools our children may attend - I'm not trying to challenge your assertions, I just can't really tell from what you've posted whether Lee truly had negatives or if your sister is simply more involved at WS and Irving than you have been at Lee and Key.  I understand if you don't have the time to post the answers to my questions, but if you do, I'd enjoy hearing more of your perspective. [/quote]
