[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back on topic - please?

So I have one son at LLIV and a daughter starting LLIV next fall.  We looked at both [b]the center[/b] and local and decided [b]the local[/b] was a happier choice...kids were going to school with other kids in the neighborhood, the local school was closer, and so on.  We couldn't really see any academic advantage to going to the center where there were few, if any neighborhood ties.  Plus the center is a HUGE school and I was worried the kids would get lost.

So at face value I'm inclined to agree with the idea that [b]center schools[/b] aren't delivering value relative to the effort required to maintain them.  [/quote]

One anecdote does not equate to Best Practice for the Entire County.

I will, thanks.

But what an intriguing reply.  If I'm not supposed to include personal experience in my, not to be pedantic, but [b]two[/b] "anecdotes," then what am I supposed to include?   :?:

Simply saying that if there's some compelling benefit to keeping a center school, I sure haven't seen it.[/quote]
