[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The new principal at Eastern, Mr Johnson, is terrific! Teachers love him and he’s inclusive- used to be the head of the magnet there year ago, before Kerwin.

I’m not saying I would choose Eastern (non-magnet) over Sligo or SSIMS. I definitely wouldn’t. It is rough- More so than Sligo or SSIMS.

As for the school within a school feel, even though TPMS has the math magnet I think they do a good job of making it feel like one school- my kid can’t often tell who is “in” and who isn’t. It’s more obvious at Eastern, unfortunately, and that vibe is definitely there.  Even with the immersion kids at SSIMS the school within a school vibe is not there.

Good luck, OP. If I got to choose? TPMS- great school culture, amazing principal, involved parents. [/quote]

Mr. Johnson is awesome!

The school within a school is more obvious at Eastern due to the racial makeup of the two populations. Unfortunately, some staff automatically assume all white and Asian students who attend are in Humanities. And that all black and Latinx students are not.[/quote]
