[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]

I understand that LAMB is not certified as Montesorri school, but given their strong, consistent academic and linguistic results, I'm glad that they've chosen to be flexible. I prefer a bit of flexibility and fantastic results rather than rigid adherence to Montessori. I don't know anything about Lee as I was not interested in changing schools and it's a relatively new, untested program right?  But I'm sure it's a fine school.

I also agree that it would be a crime if your sister took a LAMB spot knowing they were planning an early exit. Please don't do that!  Either way all your choices sound good, and I'm sure you can't go wrong. [/quote]
