[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I don’t think the leadership is great. But I think the teachers are incredible — the classroom teacher turnover is very low compared to comparable schools; many have been there 10+ years — and the community of families is amazing. The PTO is as strong as at any school and that plus the teachers makes up for the mediocre admin. Oh, the afterschool clubs and aftercare are all organized by teachers and the offerings are better than the “fancier” schools nearby. There’s a choice of like 8 clubs every day plus normal aftercare (which is cheap comparatively).

We are definitely staying. Didn’t even play the lottery (and my older kid is at an age where we could have jumped to somewhere if we wanted to).

Any specific questions? I’m feeling really high on the school after International Night yesterday. It was really unbelievably great.[/quote]

OP here. We were matched for K! We are currently in the Cluster and really love the family and teacher community, so I have very high expectations on making a switch. I have always had a fondness for Ludlow (hence why we ranked them number 2!) and know about the school’s fantastic offerings and programs. Only reason we lotteried at all was for stronger language and music options - we have quite the little songbird and Spanish is important to us. We don’t want to keep doing school hopscotch - wherever we decide for K is where we’d like to stay through middle for the sake of her development and friendships - barring some dramatic series of events. We also want to create sibling preference for our young toddler with one drop off! We do love that LTES feeds back into the Cluster for middle, too. Seems like a win win but I want to be sure we aren’t wearing blinders. [/quote]
