[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here.  So, imagine you were walking distance to Langley, Cleveland, Garrison, and Seaton.  How would you rank those schools?[/quote]

It just depends on your preferences.  Nobody is walking distance from both Langley and Garrison if you are walking with 3 year old though.

Cleveland: You won't get PK3 Spanish OOB but could get it after that if you attend.  Building and grounds are fine.  PTA is not in a great place but will likely rebuild.  Principal is new-ish but fine AFAIK.

Langley: Lively, joyful, good socioemotional program.  Facility needs cosmetic things like paint but has good bones-- huge windows, two gyms, rec center.  Garden is being renovated.  Good principal, nice teachers.  PTA is small but motivated.  Don't be put off by the high special needs percentage-- it operates a program of several self-contained classrooms.  Feeds to McKinley Middle, which I think is better than Cardozo.

Seaton: Lovely neighborhood feel.  Principal is newish but was the AP, so no worries there.  Building has seen better days, not sure if a modernization is happening in the next 5 years or so.  Academically strong relative to demographics.  Nice playground and field.

Garrison: Good new principal, nice renovation of building and playground.  Music program for the older kids.  PTA not super active but that could change. [/quote]
