I really liked Millennium and, while they didn't take many CS kids in our year, there were three or four that I know of that were accepted, two of them listed it #2 under Beacon! I don't know how the others listed it.
ReplyDeleteThanks much, Sara. We had the opportunity to visit today (asst principal was an excellent guide for our group) and were impressed on all fronts -- except for the awkward location. One surprise is that they are still in search of an online open gradebook system that meets all of their needs. Seems that a strong traditional school can be successful without one!
ReplyDeleteWe had a wonderful tour of the school. Two articulate students and the
ReplyDeletePrincipal gave us our tour. The children there seem well motivated by the
teaching staff. Easy commute of 2 short blocks from the subway.
