[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maury does seem like one of the better elementary schools on the Hill but I admittedly am turned off by what seems to be an obnoxious group of parents. Is that an unfair stereotype/hasty view from the outside?[/quote]

Interesting -- I know some schools where the parents have bad reputations (Lafayette jumps to mind), but never heard that about Maury. Now dying for the tea.[/quote]

Maury parent here. Like most other elementary schools there are some overinvolved annoying parents at the ECE level but this starts to evaporate as the kids get older. By and large most people are on the Hill because we want to be in an urban setting that is less pretentious so it is very easy to find lots of parents who are chill. And also very smart! I am very happy we settled on the Hill to raise kids. I don’t think you can go wrong at any Hill elementary school (although I am jealous of the ones that have bigger playgrounds - but my son still insists the Maury playground is the best.)

As far as IEP support goes, we were very happy in ECE - 2nd then Covid messed everything up.  But for the crucial activities of the early years (learning to read, write and do math) Maury was great. As an older kid my kid didn’t need the academic small group pullouts but they helped him make friends and with social skills. The school overall is really good at creating groups for kids with IEPs to socialize. [/quote]
