[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am in the same boat! I think we are not going to list SSMA--reluctantly, since we like Montessori a lot. We know a lot of parents there--they say the classroom experience is great for PK3 and PK4 but the administration is a mess. The high teacher turnover (66% last year, I think--yikes) was a dealbreaker for me. Our IB is Burroughs and I was definitely more impressed by their tour and their building.[/quote] Funny, 2 years ago I had the reverse experience. We attended a fantastic OH at SSMA (actually 2, my husband went separately) which caused us to list it high up and even get matched (but ended up elsewhere). We went to Burroughs on their advertised OH date and nobody had heard about it, they scrambled to find a tour guide and it led to us listing it last. I think moral of my story is take OH with a grain of salt. It only tells you a little bit about the school, either the best or worst side can show.[/quote]
