[quote=Anonymous]While middle school considerations are notoriously thrown into the mix ("are you stupid or what?"), I would give them infinitely less weight than finding a great elementary school for my child. That well-rounded and well-educated child PP mentioned (and many others like him/her) built a foundation at Maury to be successful in all of DC's middle schools, public, private, charter. There are so many options (and I'm sure more to come by the time OP needs to make choices about it) that it's really not the plight others make it out to be. It's just not.

I'm not sure where the vitriol is from about parents making Eliot-Hine work for them and their children. I can't help but wonder what those people have to lose over that prospect. Is their fear of recognizing that their own way isn't the only way driving it, that there could be paths into selective high schools, colleges, and fulfilling careers that don't involve spending long daily commutes, thousands in tuition, hours bent over one's child's homework, and hyperventilating over placements. Is that it? I don't get it.[/quote]
