[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honesty think it comes down to whether you want language. Children are thriving at both schools, they are both pretty diverse. IT seems to have less economic diversity. MV has more expensive aftercare, MV has 4 classes per grade, IT 2. As an IT parent I can count on one hand the number of people that have left IT for MV. I don't think I know one family that has left MV for IT. So the chances that one of the 4-5 families that have experience at both are reading DCUM are probably slim. Sorry I can't help with the comparison.

I can tell you I have a close friend at MV. One in 3rd and one in K. K kid is loving it and thriving. 3rd grade not so much. They are sticking with it for now. I also have 3-4 friends at IT that are leaving this year. Some for DCI feeder, and 2 because they aren't happy, got into another middle school option, or got into a Deal feeder. This year was a bad year for 4th grade so there are some unhappy folks. But for every 1 unhappy family you will meet 20 that are extremely happy. I think you're going to get that everywhere. You're also going to have a year with a teacher you're not raving about. Although after 4 years of teachers at IT I can say every one has been a 9.5 or 10 on scale of 10.

If you have a specific question about IT, i'd be happy to try to answer. [/quote]

Thank you!  It is great to know how much you have liked the teachers at IT.  Since I don't have direct connections with people at either school, responses from people at one who know people at the other are helpful.  Especially because, as you say, it was a bit of a long shot that the small group of people I was really addressing my question to would see my post.  I don't think I have any specific questions about IT at the moment.  From what I know, I'm pretty sure we would be happy there, we just need to decide whether we are willing to give up the Spanish immersion (if we even get the option of MV, which we may not).

I know DCUM is not going to solve this for me, but it is nice to have a place like this to discuss it.  Even though I didn't think my question really needed the justification a couple of posters seemed to think it did, and those comments frustrated me at first, thinking through my response and typing it up was actually a useful exercise for me.  So thanks to all![/quote]
