[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worry that some of the warnings on this thread (including mine!) downplay the incredible elements of the Eastern magnet.

For a kid whose passions really lie in reading, analyzing literature, deep history dives, and learning how to communicate through writing and video production, it's an incredible life-changing middle school experience.

The teachers work together very closely to align the curriculum, which makes it much more of a wrap-around experience than a regular MS or even TPMS where kids might be spread across three levels of math.

Ditto. My DC just went to an informal  EMS Magnet reunion - and she graduated 10+ years ago. She was so happy - still a great group.

She says it was the single best educational decision we made for her. Fabulous integrated curriculum, interesting projects, interesting peers and interested teachers.

IDRP is the most important reason to go. DC learned to research and write a proper 10+ page paper, a skill which took her all the way through college and into the workplace. [/quote]
