[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Other than the math tracking debate, can anyone share thoughts about the overall experience a scenically and socially for high achieving kids?  [/quote]

You may not get a lot of solid info on DCUM, but I have several friends with kids at EH that are happy. The school has grown a lot since it was renovated (they’re at about 500 kids this year—up from 266 kids 6 school years ago). I also heard the current 5th grade class at Maury has nearly 70 kids, which is bigger than they’ve historically had, so EH will likely continue to have an even larger cohort of higher achieving kids moving forward. This recent middle school panel is fairly informative https://w6pspo.org/2026/03/03/video-ward-6-middle-and-high-schools-principals-panel-2026/

Maury has three full fifth grade classes. I’m not convinced that this will lead to a larger cohort of high performing kids at EH.  Some of the kids are headed to EH but I hear a lot of people saying they are looking elsewhere. If you have a highly motivated kid who can succeed anywhere, it can work. But most people agree that Eastern is years away (if ever) from being a viable option for rigorous academics, meaning kids on the Hill need a strong academic foundation for application or private high schools. A common thread is parents concerned that their kid isn’t going to get that foundation at EH.[/quote]
