[quote=Anonymous]2 year IT parent here.  I couldn't agree more about the parents at the school, not only are the parents super active and warm, there are grandparents, aunts, uncles, and nannies that are very active with the school.  However, I know several MV parents and can say that they are very nice and excited about the school.  You are very lucky to be in your position.  I don't see the school admitting 1st-5th grade students as any indication other than it's hard to recruit higher grades especially when you're a 2nd year charter when most 3rd and 4th graders are at a place they'd like to stick with.  I imagine MV would also have a hard time recruiting rising 4th and 5th graders.  Language is not a priority for my family so I never even entered MV lotteries (or LAMB and Stokes).  I always thought that we would love to go to Haynes or Cap City, but when we got an opportunity to go to Haynes last year, we turned it down without hesitation.  Of course there are things that aren't perfect as with many schools.  I would love to have a gym and a playground.  The teachers are stellar.  Yeah a few teachers left last year (one for medical, one for family and I can't remember if there was another).  I hear glowing/raving reviews from every single teacher with the exception of one. My biggest concern was how the school was going to implement our family's priority of math and science into their philosophy, but I have seen it in person, the methods used and the encouragement of self inquiry is a sight to see.

The amazing teachers and the families are the sole reason that we turned down Haynes last year.  I know it was a gamble, but I have not looked back.  I welcome you to come visit the school, talk to the families and get your own feel.  There will be plenty of opportunities.  [/quote]
