[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Crimestein[/quote]

Isn't this out of date yet? It is my understanding the name stuck because 6 years ago a kid brought a gun to school and it went off in the bathroom.  I also know that BCC's Color Day was cancelled a couple of years ago because the freshman hazing was so bad a kid was sent to the hospital.

I think the elementary schools in the cluster - Woodlin, Sligo, Oakland - are known to be good.  My kid goes to Oakland and I know parents with kids in Woodlin and they are solid schools.

Sligo has a new principal and many of the parents zoned for Flora Singer are keeping a watch and getting involved in improving things.  The consensus is different in the neighborhood from when I moved in.  When I moved, everyone was going to pull out at middle school (private or move) but now, people are planning to stay.  We have one kid up the block at Newport who is doing well and a ton of involved parents pushing for more involvement, more acceleration and more accountability.  I don't think the middle school options are great, but we are pushing for an upward trajectory and everyone that I know with kids at Einstein is happy there.

If you have a kid at Einstein or know someone with kids at Einstein, then give some facts of why it is bad.  But saying Crimestein is no different than me responding to a BCC question by replying that it has a violent hazing problem.
