[quote=Anonymous]I caution people to take posts on here with a grain of salt, particularly during admissions season:

1.  The forum is anonymous -- you don't know who is posting what.

2.  Any parent of a child knows that kids' perceptions, while valid and immediate to them, may not always be objectively the most accurate view of what transpired;

3.  Middle school age is the toughest age -- assuming that the characteristics of a grade in middle school will predict what the class will be like in high school, when the class size grows by about 40% from grade 8 to 9 -- is to ignore the impact of the entry of many new students and of the maturing process.

4.  For some reason, people are often hyperbolic and even malicious when they talk about schools (particularly "rival" schools).

This isn't saying to totally disregard everything written here, but use your own judgment, talk to human beings in real life, and get a feel for any school you are considering rather than just going off what's posted on an anonymous rumor board.
