[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, we are a Seaton family in a similar situation and just wanted to respond on the differentiation piece - we met with Principal Jacobs (who brought in the teaching teams for math/language) to discuss this very issue and were very impressed, enough so that i'd feel comfortable through 5th. (Can't speak to ITS, however). We might leave for a different reason - moving - but right now we're happy staying. I'd also consider commute as part of this if it's relevant because Seaton's neighborhood vibe is something I cherish. It is a tough choice and I'm sure whatever you decide will be fine! [/quote]

I would suggest you also talk with some of the families that have chosen to stay at Seaton beyond PreK.  They may have a bit of a bias, but I think most of the families would be pretty honest with you about any challenges they have seen and/or opportunities.  Each family will have had a different experience, as will each child, so I really encourage you to seek out multiple people to chat with.[/quote]

This.  ITS is not that hard to get into so you should be able to find people who stuck with Seaton.

Also think about whether you want to start at ITS and then move to a third school if you get in later.  A number good enough for an initial matxh at ITS will likely get you into MV P St if last year's data is any indication.[/quote]

I prefer ITS to MV for a variety of reasons. The only reason we would change schools again is if we happen to move to a Deal feeder neighborhood, but this is something we are considering on this decision..
