[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP in your neighborhood with older kids -- is LT your inbound? If so, I would put Peabody above it.

Thinking longer term, many families are happy with Watkins (your eldest could take the bus back to Peabody when your younger children attend) and LT is still a work in progress in the upper grades. I am yet to meet one family who makes it to 4th grade at Logan or Two Rivers who isn't desperate to get out. Maury or Brent would be better as older grade transfers (and Maury is farther away than it seems). I have no opinion on MV.

Thank you for the feedback! Peabody is our in-bound school. [/quote]

PP -- since Peabody is your IB, I would move LT below Brent and Maury.[/quote]

[b]This advice is plain stupid. [/b]The only reason governing your rankings should be [b]your preference[/b] for each of the school. Whether a school is your IB school should have absolutely no bearing on where on the list you place that school. Putting it at the bottom or at the top has no impact on your chances to get into any other school but it will impact whether you are or not taken off the list of schools in case you do get matched.

With all of this in mind, you're essentially asking us to weigh in on your selection and preferences.
- Preferences: How could we without knowing your criteria to establish those? It sounds like proximity is one so make sure you bring that to bear on your rankings. Take all of your criteria and "grade" each option according to them, weigh criteria you find very important higher (e.g. doubling the relevant score), then add up and rank accordingly.
- Selection: My impression is that you're playing the lottery for only the most popular choices (in and around Capitol Hill). You don't seem to be, but if you were desperate to get in somewhere, I would encourage you to swap out some "impossible" choices for some that are more likely to happen.[/quote]

Since she's not desperate to get in anywhere, why not put some impossible choices in?  Someone has to get in to those places.[/quote]

Yes; IB people get into those places.[/quote]
