[quote=Anonymous]OP, you're asking for an assessment of Maury ES in terms of a well-rounded education and school culture, or roughly that's what I understand. My children went/go to Maury. One is now in a high performing middle school with children from other excellent elementary schools in the mix. S/he is consistently scoring at or near the top of the class. Starting with the first year in middle school, we were extremely reassured that Maury had prepared our child so well academically, in all subjects, including (in fact especially) in science. Maury provides a truly well-rounded and robust education, I can now affirm that for you in hindsight.
As for school culture, and that really extends into the parent culture (I can tell you because I'm exposed to more than one school now, three to be exact): Maury is a singularly nurturing place to be. The vast majority of children (and parents) are smart, focused, empathetic, cheerful, and 100% invested in their education and school, in a very constructive way. The same goes for administrators and teachers, who are hugely committed across the board, whether they just started or have been there for several decades. As everywhere, Maury is not void of "high maintenance" parents and children that can get on your nerves and there are also many students and parents who struggle on all ends and need a lot of help. But it's an very inclusive and not a divisive environment.

Since you'll inevitably hear the "no acceptable middle school" mantra, let me say that if someone can get that remedied, the Maury community can, and indeed does.[/quote]
