[quote=Anonymous]We are at Seaton and our child is happy, challenged and thriving. We lotteried for kicks for Kindergarten and just matched as ITS. I am agonizing. Weighing so many factors:

-- which school will challenge him more? So far his teachers give him lots of individualized attention and the challenge comes there. He's a bright kid and they are meeting him where he is. But I know there is a difference in kind in the k-5 curriculum vs his prek experience. iTS' curriculum and ability to work at kids at their level is a mystery to me --- anyone have any insight? Will I end up regretting leaving the DCPS curriculum?

-- we are somewhat active members of our school community and it feels great to be a part of making this community stronger. I would feel immense guilt about leaving.

- will he have friends? He is happy right now, but i know many kids who are leaving for K for various reasons. A couple of friends are planning on staying. Will we end up feeling regretful in a few years if we stay?

--- middle school. We would not attend Cardozo and don't feel too confident about DCPS giving us a good middle school, so we always thought we would try for a charter middle or move to Deal/Hardy/whatever else is good then. So I think this is a point towards ITS, though it stills far enough out.

I am of course going to be meeting with lots of people IRL who have insights and connections into both schools. But I thought I would throw this out to DCUM...[/quote]
