[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. First grade will most likely not be TEC, which is a major root of the dilemma... Friends in the know react as of we won the jackpot by getting a seat at 2R, so I feel a bit moronic or naive not to take it... As for neighbors, we don't know any kids, at any grade level, attending TEC. Also a concern... And I don't love that the school doesn't have a balanced representation from our community. Clearly many or most families who have the means and a choice are not sending their kids there. That said, I am a big believer in local, public school... also a big believer in a great education. Those goals seem quite at odds, beyond the first couple years, at TEC. Still, with that said, the convenience of the local, better-facilities school for early years remains tempting... I just worry whether we'd "hit the jackpot" again in a few years.[/quote]

We have similar concerns. As "big believer's in local, public school" we are sending our child, who would/will be on your child's class. Neighborhood schools do not change unless neighbors utilize them, and we've been really disappointed to see neighbors fail to to do. So we are. Some might say we're using DC as a test-case, but honestly, TEC is a good preschool and has great potential if people just get on board. We don't feel anxious about this decision at all, as three/four years is a long time to find an alternative if necessary. [/quote]
