i think any of my neighbors/friends in central would jump at a school like this. i know i would.

and, yes, true, i can't predict what my preschoolers will be like in middle and high school, or for that matter, 1st grade. BUT i can guess that more parent involvement/more financial resources and huge amounts of pride in a school will translate to more opportunities....and that's what i can do as a parent, provide opportunities...

i really can't afford PRIVATE school for 2 kids, even montessori. what i can do is sell this house and use that money to buy one in a better district, though. so this does make the most sense for me...it's gonna be a culture shock at first (for me, i am sure the kids will love it)

this forum is so great, thank you for all of the comments i will be reading if you wanna keep discussing
I think your approach is sensible. With your kids at this young age - it is IMPOSSIBLE to be certain what schooling is the best. We all have our own biases, values, whatever-is-important-to-us positions regarding education. And most of us have finite financial resources.

My kids never went to Eanes schools. Are they overrated? I don't believe so. But I also don't think they are demonstrably better than the better campuses in Round Rock or Lake Travis. I also recognize that any of these schools may not be the best choice for any particular person.
