[quote=Anonymous]I think Shepherd is a fantastic school, and I like the teachers and the principal. That being said, it has not worked at all for us in the upper grades, and we're not staying. Maybe it's the large percentage of kids from out of the zone that makes the community sort of tenuous. Or maybe it's just that our family never connected properly. (Maybe that's my fault, or my child's--and maybe not.) I have a friend at ITS who is not thrilled with it there--and she and I have sort of opposite problems: she's worried about the academics, and I'm worried about the social aspects. All I know in the end is, my child has been miserable at Shepherd. Learned a lot, but now hates going to school. Has very few friends.

Our time there has basically made me change my mind from thinking that a public neighborhood school can serve the needs of all students, to thinking that maybe some kids need something more. I think if you have a well-adjusted, not very quirky kid they will do well at Shepherd. But I don't have a kid like that. [/quote]
