[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also don't quite understand why you would list Peabody so low, except maybe for where you live. Unless you have some well thought out preferences for Montessori, I'd prefer Peabody over Logan Montessori for sure. If it's because you have some qualms about Watkins, I'd say take another look and keep in mind it'll be brand spanking new by the time your 1st grader gets there.[/quote]

+1 Peabody would be first for me[/quote]

OP here. The reason it is so low is because I have qualms about Watkins. It makes me nervous that the people in boundary for Watkins don't seem to be staying. And I would prefer a smaller school. If I'm going to send my kid to a borderline school I would prefer one that we can walk to. And if it's a hike I would prefer a school that might solve our middle school issue (eg MV).

But maybe I'm being irrational. [/quote]

The only irrational things on your list is wasting spots with Maury and Brent. Fill those spots with DCI feeders and the fill in the middle with second tier charters such as inspired teaching and Lee Montessori. Delete CH montessori or put it at the bottom, above Van Ness and Miner. [/quote]

DCI feeders (save YY) are second tier (or not tiered).[/quote]

LAMB is first tier too, but not in the common lottery. Sorry I still think learning another language kicks you into another tier over just a plain Montessori school or whatever ITS is all about. They're all great schools, sorry if that's not coming across. [/quote]

NP. It's debatable that kids are actually learning another language it's also unknown if some of these kids are lacking at other subjects. I wouldn't overlook the pains at MV just because it has Spanish but maybe that's just me.[/quote]

Well that's Mundo verde, one of the DCI feeders. The same cannot be said about the others which are more established schools with proven track records. I think the fact that so many Capitol Hill families attend MV would be enough of a reason to overlook its present growing pains.[/quote]
