[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent of a current 2nd grader at John Lewis, been at the school since K, and have been really happy with the core educational experience as well as the school community, level of parent and staff involvement in extracurriculars, and the fact that there are more than the minimum number of required specials so things rotate throughout the year.

If you care about foreign language, you should know that there is no language as a special. The school play is incredible but is not a guarantee you child can be in it except for PK students who are all in the show (otherwise, it's an audition process). [/quote]

OP here - thank you for this! We loved the tour and were really impressed.

Do you think you'll stay at least through 4th? Do you get the feeling most of your child's friends will stick through 4th? (I know 5th is always a bit of a wildcard everywhere).[/quote]

Yes, we plan to stay through at least 4th and it seems like many of the current grade will as well, but hard to predict. Some families in-boundary at JLES seem boundaried to feed to Deal, which likely helps with retention, and some neighborhood families in Petworth have been speaking more vocally and positively about their MacFarland experiences that may also be inspiring retention.[/quote]
