[quote=Anonymous]OP we have stayed at an EOTP charter through elementary school and have largely been happy (started at Ross, which we loved, but moved when kids got into charter). We have had shorter commutes and a diverse neighborhood and very nice vibe at school. No pressure, friendly families and diverse community. However, there are two things that made me wish we had moved to the burbs/upper NW for schools earlier. (1) middle school. We don't have a good middle school option and I underestimated how disruptive the kids are finding it to have to pick up and go somewhere where they know NO ONE at a challenging age. (2) although we have generally been happy with the level of education, there's no question that our kids have gaps compared to other kids from more established schools. We supplemented at home to some extent but haven't really done it in any sustained or focused way. So I think going to a more standard middle school is going to be a big adjustment...[/quote]
