[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maury and Brent are a tier above Ludlow-Taylor.  [/quote]

This, but OP should be fine at Ludlow if that's where the family ends up, particularly if they're not aiming for the upper elementary grades or a neighborhood middle school.[/quote]

L-T has the best of the neighborhood middle schools, so that's sort of an odd comment... But the reality is that L-T is more diverse than Brent or Maury. I personally think that's a good thing. The UMC/high achieving cohort is plenty big enough for a kid to find his/her people and L-T's scores broken down by demographics are on par w/ Brent & Maury's, and have at times been better than Brent's. I actually think the in-school experience is just as good at L-T as at Brent or Maury. On some level, the real difference is the size of the UMC cohort (75% v 95%) and the size of the PTO budget ($80K v $150K?? (guessing at the latter numbers)). [/quote]

We get it.  You're an L-T parent on the PTO and working hard to boost the school (and, ideally, the value of your house).  L-T isn't bad, but I don't think it's the same as Maury or Brent.  The stats bear that out.[/quote]

I REALLY wish you would go way. If you're  Maury or Brent parent, you're really pretty pitiful, and doing the opposite of convincing people that Maury and Brent are of a "higher tier." If I thought Maury and Brent were filled with parents like you I'd probably opt for L-T. [/quote]
