[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are so many schools in the area, it took me forever to cut it down.  But here it is.  We reluctantly decided LAMB and DCB were too far away, as is Burroughs.  We moved here from a place that doesn't have any free preschool so I think it is pretty awesome to have it at all.

1) Washington Yu Ying
2) Stokes Spanish
3) Stokes French
4) Mundo Verde P St
5) Inspired Teaching
6) Two Rivers 4th
7) Mundo Verde 8th St
8) Lee (although the test scores give me pause)
9) Langley
10) Langdon
11) Noyes IB (and we would definitely attend)[/quote]

I’m curious, PP - would you attend Langdon over Noyes? Why the preference? Or did you lottery for Langdon Montessori? [/quote]

Why Langley over Langdon? I’ve seen that around in this forum (Langdon is my kids IB). From what I see Langley is a 2 star school and the test scores are poor. Is there something I’m not seeing?[/quote]

For a few reasons.  Langley is better for our commute, we live just slightly outside the Langley boundary to the north and more than a mile west of Langdon, so Langley is borderline walkable, Langdon is not.  Langley's scores look better if you only look at the gen ed classrooms without rolling in the special ed classrooms that are separate.  We have a several friends at Langley who really like it, and the principal seemed great.  Having said that we would be happy with Langdon too.[/quote]
