the K-8 school succeeds on so many different levels not the least being a sense of community and stability for nine years unless family relocation comes into play; but that's another topic altogether

We really just lucked into the K-8, but I'm happy about it. Early adolescence is hard enough without the turmoil of a new school, and having middle school in the context of a K-8 seems to be working well for us. Of course, there are many ways to skin a cat, and if there is anything I've learned from teaching and being a parent, it's that different situations work well for different kids!

What a fabulous sounding school! I'm already dreading the thought of my son's leaving the K-5 local elementary school he's in (he'll be in 5th next year). The diversity sounds particularly impressive.
