[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You ought to list more than three schools.  You'll only get TR if your lottery number is outstanding.

Why not Inspired Teaching?

Definitely look at Langley, it's in the sweet spot where you are very likely to get in but it's a good ECE program.  Tons of neighborhood support.[/quote]

Are Langley scores better than Walker-Jones? Because OP is not comfortable due to test scores and Langley scores are very bad.[/quote]

The scores and student retention are bad at Langley, which is the opposite of what the Langley boosters described here.[/quote]

Langley's PARCC scores are bad and nobody is denying it.  But the K-2nd performance metrics are okay.  Not sure how they are at Walker-Jones.  And to really compare with Walker-Jones you would need to pull the OSSE spreadsheets and control for self-contained classrooms and the different grade levels serviced.  I'm not sure which is better.  I don't think they are different in a way that would matter to OP.  What Langley does have is good teachers, a very engaged crop of families, a strong ECE program, adequate ECE and K-2nd performance, and lots of physical space.  OP is not necessarily going to get into a school with good test scores, but OP can have the other advantages of Langley even so.[/quote]
