[quote=Anonymous]OP, let me suggest to you that you are choosing an elementary school, not just a preschool. Yes, you care about outdoor time and screen time now. And those things are important. But you will care less about them in time. That's preschool mommy stuff. You'll care a lot more about whether the school is well-administered, the quality of the teaching, the feeder pattern, and whether your child's academic needs are being met. No screens and lots of outdoor time will not make it okay if those critical things are lacking! So try to take a longer-term view. Personally, I'd suggest you use the OSSE PARCC spreadsheets to identify schools that are performing well relative to their demographics. If a school has mostly high-income kids and the PARCC scores are still bad, what does that say? (Stuff it, Montessori rationalizers).[/quote]
