[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a parent with a child currently in the first grade at LT and plan to enroll a younger sibling for PS3 in the fall, also.  We're IB and have been at the school since our older child was in PS3.  We've stopped playing the lottery because we are very happy with the school, its teachers, principal, and community of committed families.  First grade has been good, 17-18 children in the classroom, no "homework" but fun projects sent home to complement the curriculum. I think there are two 1st grade classrooms and both with rock solid teachers.  (Teachers at all levels, including ECE, have been top-notch.) My kid is very bright and is thriving there.  We like that the school is both socio-economically diverse (still a Title 1 school, but not for much longer) but also has a very active PTA that raises real money.  LT also has a dynamic new principal, just got the National Blue Ribbon Award of Excellence, and is getting a new playground any day now.  We also have the largest Foodprints garden in DCPS.  We utilize the aftercare which is DCPS-run and only $80-something per month and includes no-cost ballet, tap dance, chess, and also offers the usual fee-based extras.  The early childhood program is Reggio-inspired and past K the teaching approach (as far as we've seen) has been academic and differentiated.  I encourage you to visit for the Open House.  And please talk to current families at the school.  It's a wonderful community. Good luck![/quote]

Sounds lovely!  How was K?  How big were the classes?[/quote]
