[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, long term options and making a difference in the school aside, does anyone consider this a good option for ps and pk? I like the neighborhood aspect and the art and music curriculum a lot. We have also been accepted into Apple Tree, but am thinking to stay at LT. Would this be a mistake?[/quote]

The neighborhood aspect sounds of iffy value, depending on your family commute logisitcs, at a time most affluent IB families are bailing, or not getting involved, now that Peabody has a lot more room and the more upscale half of the LT district gets proximity preference.

If you're the sort of person who can resist the pressure to attend meetings and campaign to "turn the school around" you'll be OK.  The pk teachers are fine, the curriculum is fun, and the prek and k classrooms are nicer than the rest.  But the peer pressure won't necessarily be easy to resist, with a dozen gung ho PTA parents dying to see the next Maury emerge, giving neighborhood compatriots not-so-subtle guilt trips about involvement left and right.  I didn't even enroll my kid and still get the guilt trips ("LT will only become a great school if all of us with young kids line up behind it!  Write a grant proposal why don't you?").
