[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eaton is doing some amazing things!  The thought of shutting down this great school...saddens me  We are IB for Janney, but chose Eaton due to the warm, caring nurturing environment combined with a strong group of teachers and administrators[/quote]

I don't see them shutting down Eaton.  But after many years of upward trajectory, it does face a serious challenge with the planned move from Deal to Hardy.  Eaton has achieved a good balance between OOB enrollment and IB enrollment.  It still could be more evenly balanced, but the current mix  is reflects both a diverse student body and one which anchors the school to Cleveland Park and brings community backing (though not necessarily a lot of political support as a PP noted).  Unfortunately, I think that that balance may change again as more IB kids pass on Eaton entirely or leave before the end of 5th grade.  Unlike a number of OOB families who have separate geographical rights to go to Deal and therefore will continue to have a chlice of public middle schools, the CP/McLean Gardens kids will have to go to Hardy if charters or private schools are not available to them.
