[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Ludlow-Taylor/Two Rivers anectdote is lame.  Everyone at LT knows it's a great school and it's no secret to others that no secret that LT earned the coveted "blue ribbon" status last year for performance (and not for the easier category of "most improved").  LT also has incredible arts and music programs, awesome teachers, and a dynamic, engaged principal.  According to demographics data, the overall demographics for LT and TR are nearly identical (the article is misleading on that point), with white students accounting for 25% of student body - a statistic that refutes the obnoxious implication that white families are fleeing LT for the whiter arms of a charter school.

We left LT for Two Rivers because although LT is a great school, we were excited to try TR's Expeditionary Learning curriculum. If you haven't done so and are curious about the basis for TR's long waiting lists - read up on Expeditionary Learning.

Agree that LT is a great school.  More and more parents are staying put past K, including my family.  :-)
