[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hyde Addison is decent. Actually, great for size and feeder.  Garrison is under rated but  believe most avoid because of their high Hispanic population. [/quote]

This is sad re: Garrison. What's wrong with going to school with Hispanic children? Sheesh people. (I think it's obvious but just in case my sheesh is not directed at the poster quoted, or anyone who has else who has participated in this thread so far). [/quote]

Is that true? My sense is that Garrison is highly sought after, including by the higher-SES and/or white population, and has been that way for the last 5 years or so. I have never read anything negative regarding Garrison on this board and the principal has received high praise. One snapshot way you can tell that the school is not really a sleeper is that being IB is no longer a guarantee for PK3 or PK4 without a sibling. I'd say Garrison is maybe half a step behind Marie Reed, in terms of perception and popularity (not necessarily quality), and more or less on par with Seaton and Thomson.[/quote]
