[quote=Anonymous]So, I waited to respond to this thread. Not sure why, maybe DCUM rudeness, but I've decided I will.

I know that the students in Haynes graduating class are PHENOMENAL. Seriously, phenomenal. Please watch how you talk about them on here because you DON'T KNOW THEM.  Many of them are first generation college students and life is not perfect, but they are good kids.  One is a Gates Millennium scholar, one is a National Science Foundation scholar and as a class brought in over $3.5 million dollars in merit scholars to colleges and universities.

This is their FIRST class, I hope they only go UP from here.

My student is in the first grade and has been there since PK3.  My family likes Haynes. Like anywhere, it's not perfect, but my student has been with a strong teacher every year and progressed meeting or exceeding grade level expectations every year.

Oddly, the only reason we would leave is for dual-language.  It is something my family has wanted the entire time, but we have NEVER gotten in to any dual-language program (and we've applied to just about all of them).  My student takes spanish as an elective at Haynes and has taken out of school language classes since the age of 1.5.

I would say go visit, talk to families and see what you think.  Its a hard decision, but either way there are people waiting to take your place at Powell and Haynes. [/quote]
