[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... [b]But the reality is that L-T is more diverse than Brent or Maury. I personally think that's a good thing[/b]. 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]

If "more diverse" is code for more low SES AA kids than Maury and Brent, granted.  But if you're looking for more national, international and ethnic diversity, Maury and Brent attract all sorts of interesting families from around the region, country and world on a scale that LT can't compete with yet.  In another 10 years, probably, but not just yet.[/quote]

IT IS NOT A COMPETITION THEY ARE ALL GOOD SCHOOLS!!
