This sums up our thinking as well.  Plus, we have children of different genders and wanted them to be at the same school if possible, so NCS, STA, Holton, etc. were out of the question.  We have been very pleased with the school, and our kids love it.  There are fortunate to have many great schools in the area, though, and I know of many families very happy with a wide range of schools.  It's a very personal choice, and is working well for our family.  And we love the new middle school head.  Sally Selby was terrific and is a hard act to follow, but Rachel is doing a wonderful job.
