[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two Rivers (both 4th and Young) will have exhausted their WL in all grades by the time school starts. That is an astounding fall from grace for a once formerly high demand school. It saddens me. [/quote]

Equity kills.[/quote]

Oh please. ITDS goes on and on about equity and yet is doing fine.[/quote]

Also disagree. It is not the school it once was. Best to skip it for middle school if you have other options.[/quote]

What are you basing this opinion on?[/quote]

Personal experience from 2 kids who were both there all the way from PS-8th. [/quote]

Can you elaborate? Especially about middle school. [/quote]

I am really perplexed why you would say that. The middle school, now fully enrolled, is better than it was when it was nascent and very small. Unless your kid needs a tiny school, I guess.[/quote]

I am PP. This post was about ITDS middle School. I want to know from an actual parent why it is “best to skip middle school”. The post that I commented on was a parent of kids that were there prek-8th. I am considering this as a middle school option. [/quote]

My son went all the way through the middle school.  I found it to be a very good school.  The teaching was good.  The advising was in a transition period during our son's 8th grade year, but we're hoping that aspect has solidified.  We are planning on sending our daughter as we had a good experience with sending our son to the middle school.[/quote]

I agree. Yes, the elementary school is stronger than the middle school-- it has existed for longer, and elementary grades are generally easier to deal with. The middle school is great in some ways, solid in others, and it's a solid option that rising 5th and 6th graders stand a decent chance of actually getting into.

I'm puzzled why anyone would say it's "not what it once was". Unless you're a true believer from the start of it 10+ years ago, I think the middle school is as good or better than it ever has been.[/quote]
