Hi parents,

Could you please give me your feedback on these schools?
We are on the waiting list for prek-3

Congrats on getting a great number! Lucky dilemma to have.

Very few people have sent children to more than one of those schools.

We are at Inspired Teaching and it's a very good school.

Parent of child at TR Young. Admin, staff, and faculty are great! Very warm and inviting school environment. Newly renovated school building and plenty of open field for recess/PE.

I would likely take IT over the others, then 2RY (and maybe the other way around if logistics become an issue between the 2). Logan would be absolute last last last place between the 3.

Three very good schools. I'd shoot for the one that gives you the easiest commute. It matters.

Thank you

It seems like nobody likes Capitol Hill Montessori lol
I wonder why?

[Anonymous]

The CHML building seems to be in the worst condition, and if you stay long-term you may be relocated during a renovation. But depending on where you live and work it might be the best commute.

I'd prefer IT or 2R for middle school, if you're thinking that far ahead.

Oh I see!
That makes sense...

Is there any more parent with feedback on these schools ?
We just got a spot at Inspired Teaching and will probably get an offer from the two other ones since we are #1 and #2 on their waitlist.

I'd choose either TRY or ITS - whichever school gives you the easiest commute and best school-life balance. They are pretty far from each other.

Thank you!
You are right about that but we just hope to give them the best start.
We live in DC but work in MD so it's almost the same to go pick them up.

In that case, I'd accept the spot at the school you get into first and treat it as if you are going to stay there. If life-wise, they really are "just about equal," minimizing beginning of school transition/disruptions for your PK3 kid (and for the school!) is a good goal. I think that the churn caused by parents seeking perfect and/or always striving to figure out if the grass is greener somewhere else is harmful to kids, schools, and the system as a whole.

I get it.
We are not looking for the perfect school just a good school to start with.
We are European and the school system here is completely different from what we know. That is why I am asking advices about these 2 schools
If there are about the same then we will probably go with the first one which sent you an offer.
