[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So far, I am hearing a lot of positive things about Cleveland, so why isn't it more popular? Why is it all about Oyster?[/quote]

PP poster with a DC at Cleveland here. So far, I think it has just been under the radar.  I think the school is very similar to Eaton and Hearst 4-5 years ago (DS attends Eaton now).  Both schools had good test scores and were hardly mentioned in the threads, probably due to their high black populations. FWIW  I choose Eaton for DC1 over Hearst beceause, at the time the, Eaton's dems were quite reflective of DC (not so much the case now), while Hearst was 99% black.  IMO it is unfortunate that Eaton's student population is changing so drastically, the diverse popultation really supported the "World Cultures" theme of the school.

[b]As an aside, the Principal Feltman at Cleveland is great.[/b]  While I haven't had to many extended interactions with her, I see her everyday actively engaging the kids as they are arriving and being dismissed.  I've seen her recieve impromptu hugs from the older students and talking with the little ones.  It is also very moving to see that the school make such great efforts to ensure that all the students are fed and are able to take part in school field trips and extracurricular activities, whether the families can afford it or not.[/quote]

i've only met her once. i have a waitllist number too high to likely get in but was impressed w/her attentiveness and engaging w/the kids and staff as i waited in the lobby. one little boy had just missed breakfast and she took the time to make sure he got some yogurt on the fly. i'm from rural so. md and grew up in a great public school system. this school in the middle of the city gave me a familiar small town feel.
