[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is accepted to Eastern, not CES kid, W feeder school. Scores are not as good as the stats posted here. We are surprised and confused. He will get the two enrichment classes at home school. Is the two hour commute each day worth it? [/quote] For my child it certainly was. He has had a fantastic experience that has permanently shaped who he is. His writing is excellent, and his critical thinking skills are sharp. His brother is in a W-feeder MS and I don't see the rigor in the humanities that Eastern has. He has made strong friendships (which require me to lug him all over MoCo but that's another story). There are downsides - the science program at Eastern is weak, and the languages are not great. The commute, as you said, is long (although my child likes the bus and the camaraderie on the bus). These are the tradeoffs. We made them, and we would gladly make them again.[/quote]
