Key/Janney/Mann

[Anonymous]

We are looking at homes IB for Key, Janney, or Mann for a rising first grader. Her sister is in 3rd and will likely be going to private, where younger would likely go starting in 4th grade.

Obviously whichever house we end up loving might dictate our choice, but of these schools which would you select if all else were equal? We are looking for an involved parent community, non-chaotic classrooms, and good teachers. Kid has no special needs and is outgoing.

If you only have plans for early grades, any of those are fine.

I had 3 kids go through Janney and I never heard of anyone leaving for private mid elementary. I think this is far more common with Mann or Key. They are wealthier neighborhoods.

Which of the racially homogenous, overresourced schools is best? Idk, take your pick.

This describes Title I schools also.

Gotta love when the most obnoxious comments aren’t even true. Both Key and Mann are 65% white. That’s pretty far from homogenous but go off.

Let me know when my pta buys me a partner teacher for my 30 5th graders.

Ignored the racially homogenous part (surprise), so let me know when they don’t have the most spent on them.

What does that mean in reality though. I can tell you having worked in both settings that its not even close who has more resources, and it's not Title 1. The numbers that you have queued up to show me don't actually mean a better school experience.

Anyway to answer OP, it doesn't matter. Janney is the biggest of the three, Mann has a lot of diplomat families which can be culturally cool, Key is also fairly small. I guess 65% isn't white enough for the PP but I'll cede that what I truly meant was any sort of SES diversity.

Your projections are the sign of someone gripped by insanity.

Honestly please think about why your reaction to questions like this is so over the top to almost be a caricature.

I would add Hearst, Eaton, Stoddert, Hyde to the list. Consider house first, then aftercare options and then space.
While Janney is lovely, the lack of space is a problem at times.

Yeah, if you're not planning on staying, it doesn't really matter.

The insane posters are so common here. You can find them in every thread.

Agree with this. You'll be in the house for far longer than your kid will be in the school. You would be happy with any of these schools.
