[quote=Anonymous]Hi everyone - new poster here and hoping for some thoughts about DC lottery results.

We got into Sela, 13 on waitlist at Breakthrough Montessori Takoma, 23 EL Haynes, 54 LAMB, and 55 Lee.  It seems like LAMB and Lee are unlikely for us, but realistically we could be choosing between Sela, Breakthrough, and EL Haynes.  We like Sela because of the language, we like Breakthrough because of the Montessori approach, and we like EL Hayes because it is very close to home - most convenient though other 2 are not too bad logistically.   On paper Sela may be the weakest academically but we got a very good feeling about it when we visited and we see the language is a big plus, as a way to improve mental development.

Just wondering if others here have thoughts about how these schools compare and how to weigh the pros and cons of each.  I'm particularly interested in hearing from other families who attend any of those three about your experiences.  Also, for Breakthrough families, how does the fact that it does not have a playground affect the kids and your feeling about the school.  Thanks![/quote]
