[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Forget about that stupid lottery process.  Buy a house in-bounds and your kids are on their way to bilingualism.  Good show, MoCo.

Glad we bought here  last year.  Oldest starts in a few weeks! [/quote]

Yeah I wish we had bought in-bounds for OTES!  We had zeroed in on there and Flora Singer when buying a house and ended up in a neighborhood that goes to the latter.  This was a few years ago and the bilingual program hadn't been proposed yet.  I'm kinda bummed now even though I've heard good things about Flora Singer.  [/quote]

Singer is the better school overall. Much better principal. [/quote]

The leadership makes or breaks the school.[/quote]

Which is why many of us are so happy at OTES.

I’m not sure if it’s the same person, but there’s someone on this board who has posted multiple times about Singer being “better.”  It’s bizarre, given how similar the two schools are.[/quote]

That's great you are happy there.  That doesn't dismiss some of the concerns, many of which like communication could easily be fixed.  I don't know if Flora Singer is better or not.  It probably depends on the child and their needs.[/quote]
I wasn't dismissing anyone's concerns, I was responding to a specific PP comparing OTES and Singer.  It's happened before on this forum and it is, again, bizarre.  I remember it coming up around the boundary revisions, and this person (whether the same or not) grouped OTES as one of the "lower performing" schools in the Einstein cluster, while Singer was "higher performing."  Except that they're very, very similar.  Again: weird.[/quote]

They are probably the same posters saying the only good schools are W school and complaining about the lack of magnets and then sending their kids downcountry to the magnets.  I think they are about equal in performance and draw the type of families.  The differences are due to the people there.  I have heard they are better if your child needs any supports but I think that's subjective to the individual child.[/quote]
