[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ITDS is pretty good on differentiation upwards, and you would have the option of staying for middle which is pretty good. I feel fine about the amount of screens, which I guess is a medium amount. People tend to care less about this as their kid gets older. I appreciate ITDS' emphasis on math fluency and am fine with it being delivered by screen games.

Lee's test scores are so low relative to demographics, I can't see how you would be happy there if that's your main concern. [/quote]

I'm gagging at those dragging Lee who 1. don't attend/have never attended 2. haven't seen updated data 3. have no idea what Montessori is to even be able to assess a program based on "test scores."

If you're coming to DCUM to ask about lottery rankings, you're only going to find opinions rooted in anecdotes or rumors. Attend the open houses of all of these schools. Ask them the questions about scores and what the school focuses on. Ask actual parent representatives or the PTO contacts. This will give you more a sense of the culture and if your family aligns with their values. All the rest is just gross noise.

These DCUM posts and replies are so tired. And the boosters/antagonists are parents that are either too old or too obnoxious to listen to.[/quote]

Why don't you tell us why the racial gap at Lee is so big. And while you're at it, how about the financial mess that has them on a very tight budget?[/quote]
