Not PP but it is very center specific.  Our school has a "robust" local level IV but we sent our 3 kids to the center- best decision ever.  Go to the open house, ask questions, keep an open mind.  Frankly- that whole "keep your kid next to the neighborhood" is just not applicable in many cases.  First of all, our local level IV is clicky - so was glad to get away and relieved that the center was NOT clicky. I can brush it off, but it transcended to the kids and it was just a mini high school in the making.  We live in a neighborhood zoned to local level IV base and friendship-wise it made NO difference.  They play and are friends with everyone.  I am sure someone will pipe in on the cons of going to a center but this has been our very consistent positive experience (parents and kids).[/quote]

Thanks a lot. Did you visit both open houses? How did you find out about the clicks in the base school. We are also moving, so our school will be new. [/quote]

My older son attends a Level IV center. It happens to be our base school. I can say that it has more academic type extracurricular activities than other neighborhood schools. I cannot imagine picking a base school over the center as the kids have more peers. Doing things like Odyssey of the Mind, Math Olympiad, computer programming, and musical theater has added to the school experience.[/quote]
