[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The way you've framed your question suggests you already have an opinion.[/b]

Your child won't be eligible for PreK3 for a couple of years. There's no guarantee they will be able to get into L-T that year, but probably will get in somewhere nearby. I think public preK3, at least for MC and UMC families is non-existent in Maryland and Virginia. A lot of DC couples who have always intended to move to suburbia stay in DC while their only or oldest child is in ECE. (DCPS-speak for Early Childhood Education.)

The 2021-2022 school year data has L-T at 44 percent at or above grade level in math and 70 percent at or ablove grade level for ELA. This was after Covid disruptions.

Like many other CH schools, L-T experiences a large outflow after 4th grade. Tha't because

If you're worried that your kid will be an outlier for being academically advanced at L-T; they won't. I'm not sure what "teaching college" means, but if you are a tenure track professor, you son't be the only one in the parent body. Lots of highly professionas among the parent body--it is, after all, Capitol Hill.

Not just an opinion, but a bone-deep conviction that their kid will be at/above grade level in all things and deserving of pull-out treatments tailored to their exceptionalism.  And in 8 months this same parent will be posting on here about how she's heard that DCPS is too academic, too structured, and DD needs play based and no uniforms and self-directed forest school.   :lol: [/quote]
