[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Considering these two schools for PK3 and would like inputs from parents who have kids in either of these.

We live walking distance from both and like that there is minimal to no technology use. Thank you [/quote]

Above makes no sense.  Either you prioritize spanish and immersion or you don’t.

If you don’t prioritize spanish, don’t choose MV.  Of all the immersion charters, MV has the strongest spanish and many non-hispanics families are either proficient or fluent in spanish.

Go with TR.  I hear the ECE is pretty good.

As to some posters saying poor DCPS schools like JO or Langley, no way.  Read the post about DCPS and screens in ECE.  Total disaster and developmental inappropriate.  And so easy to get into either schools if you want later anyway because families leave.[/quote]

OP would hate Langley. But that's beside the point. OP needs to really think about why Two Rivers made so many waitlist offers. TR4 admitted 42 kids and waitlisted 49 (from 359 total applicants). Then made 36 waitlist offers, so probably got through their list. And you can add the Equitable Access data to that. Langley had 132 applicants, matched 42 and had a wait-list of 44, and then made just 4 waitlist offers. So Langley seems to have been the harder school to get into, and matched or waitlisted a higher proportion of its applicant pool than TR4 did. And this is *despite* TR4 having better CAPE scores than Langley, and *despite* TR4 having arguably a more appealing middle school than Langley feeds to, and *despite* having all the unappealing things about DCPS like too much screen time. What could account for Langley being overall more appealing than TR4? Really ponder this, OP.[/quote]

Who cares about the waitlist?  Langley is not hard to get into at all.

All DCPS schools are out because OP does not want screens.

She is asking about MV and TR.  There is no Langely and your desperation in trying to convince her is showing.

I do not want OP to attend Langley, because OP would not like it. But you are right, I was looking at the wrong column. Langley is not hard to get into and only waitlisted 6 for pk3. But it's a fair question why TR is so easy to get into, when it used to be quite difficult. TR had a lot of applicants, but a short waitlist, which indicates that people tend to rank TR pretty low. Why?[/quote]
