[quote=Anonymous]I have a current 10th grader who went to Eastern. In many ways, it was an excellent choice. She made good friends, was challenged academically, did some amazing in-depth projects, and grew in independence and confidence. Negatives included a challenging commute (long bus ride plus needed a parent to drive to/from the bus stop every day), long days (bus ride plus she did after-school band), a few teachers with what felt like inappropriately high expectations (especially the 6th grade teacher mentioned already), and that her friend group split up to multiple high schools and my kid ended up without close friends at the high school she chose. My younger kid is at our home middle school and the difference in academics is laughably huge; I wish they were getting the same kind of challenge and enrichment, but am grateful for the easier commute and the continuity in friends.[/quote]
