[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't be afraid to look across rt7 at the Shrevewood/Kilmer/Marshall pyramid. The schools are equally as great and the families are friendly and very down-to-earth.

My reservation about Haycock would be the renovation they are about to begin. The school is already very crowded, and with the renovation, many more classrooms than usual will be in trailers for the next couple years until the renovation is complete. [/quote]

From a facilities perspective, Shrevewood and Kilmer are expected to be more overcrowded in the future than Haycock and Longfellow, and McLean is projected to be more overcrowded than Marshall.  If I were concerned about the possibility of trailers at Haycock, I would definitely avoid Shrevewood and Kilmer. [/quote]

Trailers don't really bother me.  I think the renovation is going to be chaos, though.  If OP can avoid it, she might want to, depending on the age of her kids.  It would stink to live through it and never reap the benefits by enjoying the new school.  During the renovations, we have been told there are no after school activities and no school events in the evening (i.e. PTA events).  Also, the playspace will be taken up by construction trailers and equipment so the recess possibilities are dubious (although kids that love construction and construction equipment will likely be in heaven).  If her children are young, it may be worth living through a couple years of pain to get a nice, new school.[/quote]
