[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a public school parent but would choose Lowell in a heartbeat if I could afford it. DCPS & charters have to deal with the PARCC and common core standards, plus the teaching to the test that goes along with that. I'd much prefer to send my child to a very good private. Financially, that's not an option for us.[/quote]

I am a fan of montessori and abhor the PARCC and common core standards.  So I would choose Lee and then next year apply for a private montessori that goes to higher grades:  Aidan or Christian Family Montessori.  LAMB is not real montessori.

If montessori is not a big deal for her, I would go with Lowell.[/quote]

Both those private Montessori schools go to 6th grade.  Lee will go to 6th grade by the time her kid is ready for those higher grades.  no reason to go private just to go to higher grades.  Lee is likely to add a middle school and actively considering working with other Montessori schools to open a public Montessori high school by the time the first co-hort is ready for it.[/quote]

I think PP is saying to go private in order to avoid PARCC and testing, but just saying to find one that goes through 6th grade. Irrelevant to her that the charters go to 6th.[/quote]
