[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would also consider many high SES leave before even 1st grade.  If you live in the neighborhood ask your neighbors where they send their children and why.  It may influence your decision to go private or try to lottery into a public/charter school.  Many have actual feedback from their time there, something you won't get on a tour.[/quote]
This is changing drastically. We have rising 4th grader and majority of our neighbors have been staying all the way until Deal. The neighbors that we know that go private were already going to go private/charter no matter what (Jewish, immersion, started school before moving into SP, neighbor that is a founder at a charter). I would say the trend is changing drastically in last 3 years alone.

OP, there is an eduction meet up at the park Sunday at 5:30pm open to all neighbors at all schools. You should find some great resources there.[/quote]

It could in fact change, but [b]remember that each class after prek has very few actual neighborhood kids.[/b]  Again, only 35% in bounds.  Yes, many come from close in neighborhoods, but attend our school because the neighborhood kids do not fill the slots.  [b]Again, ask the neighbors where they go and why not Shepherd.[/b]  Some multigenerational families do not have their youngest attend, even after attending themselves as a child.  Why?[/quote]

DP.  Again, your info is dated.  Agreed there are fewer in the upper grades, but kindergarten and 1st grade are about half IB.  I am a current parent with a child in one of these grades.

You've made a similar comment twice now.  Innuendo aside, what exactly are you trying to say about why in-boundary kids don't attend Shepherd?[/quote]

This is same anti Shepherd poster that always comes on any thread that may mention Shepherd. We've all heard her story before. I don't discount it, I just don't understand why someone still makes a point to make anti Shepherd posts so frequently.[/quote]
