[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are inbounds for Maury, and unless he gets into SWS (HA!), we'll likely transition to Maury for K. After much belaboring and research, this is what I've got, wdyt?

Priorities were walkability(/public transport) from our house near Lincoln Park, onsite playground, and curriculum. Ideally our nanny (who will be caring for our younger child) will pick him up from school, rather than us using aftercare, and she doesn't drive.

1. School Within School - I used to work at a reggio school and I'm super passionate about it so it really bums me out that this isn't a real choice
2. Maury
3. Miner - realistic hope for where we end up
4. Two Rivers 4th St - heard great things but definitely a schlep. But on the busline
5. AppleTree Oklahoma - not a fan of AppleTree's curriculum but at least this one has a playground on site
6. AppleTree Lincoln Park
7. Lee Montessori - we would have to drive here but hoping there is some carpool, probably would wind up doing aftercare
8. Two Rivers Young - ditto above
9. Friendship Chamberlain - don't know much about this one but I think he's guaranteed to get in?

Also had Payne on there for a bit but if he got in there he'd probably also be in at Miner and I'd rather he go to Miner because of the number of Maury families there. And the new building/playground seems nice. Also had JO Wilson because I think he could get in because of the renovations but the swing space is a schlep and so is the school itself.

I would cut TR. It is not worth the trek. Move AT LP above AT OK. You will absolutely get AT OK, so consider that your safety. And then add the neighborhood DCPS. Walkability is huge, not just from an ease of getting there every morning perspective, but also because you will be able to expand your neighbor network and your DC will have friends nearby.
