[quote=Anonymous]I am the previous poster with a 5th grader at Payne, and I thought of one more point to make for these PK3 parents on this thread who are stressed about middle and high school feeder patterns. These forums are useful to a certain extent, but I also recommend to folks to go out and find families at the schools who have kids in the older grades. It will give you a much more detailed and nuanced view of the schools. Reading through these types of threads it is easy to see things in a black and white, one versus the other type of conversation. As a parent I know happy families at Payne, Ludlow, Tyler, Maury, Miner, SWS, Watkins, Eliot, Stuart Hobson, and Jefferson. I also know families who have enrolled in charters or private schools who are happy there. My son has always done well academically, and has continued to be challenged by his math and ELA teachers at his school. If going to NW or private fits what your family wants/needs, that is great, but don't write anything off at this point with such young kids. You may end up very happy with the teachers and programming at the nearby schools. [/quote]
