[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like OP does know some kids with older siblings at SH.  I personally think SH is a solid choice.  But you should this year go to open houses, enter the charter school lottery, and expect the 4th grade feeder peer pressure to all go SH together to soften somewhat over the course of this year.  Your child could potentially do a complete 180 on you by this time next year.[/quote]

Yes, thank you. We know actual families at SH. I have spoken to them. Most of them are, honestly, "boosters" in a good way. I was trying to see if, anonymously, I got different answers. I really appreciate those with direct experience who have weighed in, especially the current parent/former teacher.

I understand why people would rule out SH entirely because of test scores, but that's obviously not me. We're extremely happy at a feeder now, where my kid has had a great social and extracurricular experience and a very good academic one. Obviously this colors my view and obviously some people on this forum turn up their noses at all of the SH feeders. (We have had lottery offers to move to "better" schools and have decided against them every time.) If you're a family who would only live or go to school in UNW to begin with, that's clearly not my family.

SH has a big enough cohort of high achieving students that I think it would clearly be fine if they did differentiation in all subjects. My question is essentially how problematic is it that they don't?[/quote]
