[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again.Next year will be 4th grade but if I feel like TR or ITS would be best, we will go ahead and lottery for those this year to give us an additional shot. I only want to move once, though so if Latin ends up on the top, we will wait a year and go for broke.

My feelings for each of the schools are...

Latin: The most options, I like the advanced placement classes (which I'm thinking the other schools don't have, and frankly I'm not positive my child would be in them, but the option is important.) The arts and sports are a big plus and of course the HS option.

TR: The middle school open house was very organized and they seem to have things down pat. I also liked what the students had to say about their social dynamic and inclusion model. This is comforting to me given that Latin is very large and I'm not sure if they focus on social issues as much.

ITS: I have the least amount of information about their middle school and its the newest. I did like the MS teachers at the open house a lot and I also just feel like this school would be a good fit for us. The project based learning is a big plus here as well. Academically it seems on par with TR but they are so new, so there are a lot of open ends. It also seems much more 'little kid' than the very 'big kid' school feel that Latin has. I am honestly unsure which is better for a 5th-8 grader. [/quote]

Don't bank on getting into Latin for 5th.  How about you stay at your IB elementary school for 4th and then lottery for Latin, ITS and TR for 5th?  I agree that you don't want to deal with moving around and if you really like Latin, I'd hold out and try for it along with the others.  [/quote]
