Last minute wobbles filling out my secondary school form for my DD. I liked EGA very much from the tour but its numbers weren't quite as good as some of the other schools we are looking at (and it's a bit far.)

I don't know any parents here -- does anyone have any insider info about it? Thank you!

No insider info, but when you say "the numbers," what do you mean?

I live near EGA. I'd not want my daughter to attend.

Sorry, I mean the Progress 8 scores, etc.

I know a parent who had two girls that went there and was super happy with it. The third couldn’t get a place and ended up at another school (with much better results) but she had such problems with other girls and was unimpressed with the school generally that she managed to move her to EGA and she’s been happy ever since

I have relatives whose dc go there. They are happy with it. They are down-to-earth, not MN demographic, and not at all pushy. They didn't consider any selective options for example.

I have heard it quite a good school.
