[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would ask a different question.

How committed to you to Montessori in the long-run? Do you expect to send your kid there through 5/6th grade?

If you're only committed to Montessori at the primary level, I'd make the switch now, as you're unlikely to get as good of a lottery spot in the future. If you are committed to Montessori through lower and upper elementary, then stay. [/quote]

The real magic of Montessori happens in elementary. Being committed only for primary is shortsighted.  [/quote]

I'm PP. I agree. We're committed to Montessori in elementary, but it isn't clear that OP is. She just says she loves the school now. I wanted to raise the questions to try and get a better sense if she's truly committed. [/quote]

OP here.  Our Montessori school doesn't go through middle school.  I wish our child could stay there through 8th grade, since there are some good high school options that we could try for at that point.  But it doesn't feed anywhere for middle school.

Are you sure? I thought SSMA, Breakthrough and Lee won some kind of planning grant for a potential collaboration for a middle high?  I think it is this one?  (So maybe just Lee and Breakthrough?  Or just Lee?

NP. It would not be the first time a planning grant didn't materialize into a charter in DC. Don't count your chickens. [/quote]
