[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, just read about Breakthrough's move and it is definitely off the list as new location too far. 
Seems like Seaton could replace it.

As for Tyler, I think it may be a bit too far for us.

We visited School within School, may consider putting that on. But if we don't put it very high on the list, I suppose that would be another "wasted" spot. 
I think I am confused though, what schools do you put in spots 8,9,10? If you select any moderately competitive charter school than it seems this is a "waste"? If that is the case we not really have 12 schools. [/quote]

You are right about SWS.  Especially with your stated preferences of Spanish and Montessori.

For 8, 9, and 10 you can put non-competitive charters, schools that are going through a move or something that makes them easier to get into, and nearby neighborhood schools that take a significant number of OOB students.  Or a school that is less competitive you like for a personal reason like it's near your office or near a family member's home.  Some people don't have anything to fill that role so they just don't list 12 schools, and that's fine.

Personally, I would not do JO Wilson as I don't think there's anything special enough about it to justify the commute, and for preschool I prefer a smaller school.  Yes it feeds to Stuart-Hobson, but you can probably get into that or Ludlow-Taylor in a later grade if you need to, so it's not really worth taking on the commute now.

People in Bloomingdale used to consistently choose Seaton over Langley, but now it's more a question of whether you like the socioemotional curriculum at Langley, and logistical factors, and these days a lot of people don't get into Seaton for PK3 so you may not have a choice.  Chances are you could still switch to Seaton in PK4 or K anyway if you really want to, so if it's at all inconvenient for you, just stick with Langley and you'l be fine.
