[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a Bloomingdale resident about to enter the lottery, this has been one of the most helpful DCUM threads ever for me, so thank you!!

I have an update to the question: of the four schools we're discussing, would your ranking change for older grades? For example, I am well aware of how great Langley has been doing in the ECE area. It's my zoned school and probably my current first choice. But if your goal is to stay through 5th grade, would you opt elsewhere?

TIA! [/quote]

TBH, if I were enrolling an older kid right now, I would choose Seaton. I would happily enroll a 3rd grader in Seaton today, or even a 4th or 5th grader.  But Langley and Garrison are both doing well and it is hard to say how they will be if you have a preschooler now.  I would not rule either of them out for becoming as good as Seaton in 5 years time.

The thing about Seaton and Garrison amd Cleveland is, I would not send a kid to Cardozo for middle.  I would have to lottery and would be more happy with McKinley Middle than Cardozo.  Right now I would not send a kid to McKinley Middle but I really think it is on the up, and over time that effect may show in Langley's retention in the upper grades.  Of course, as an IB you would have the right to McKinley Middle regardless of your elementary school choice.  But a good middle school improves recruitment and retention in upper elementary grades.

I will also say that you will likely have the option of a HRCS if you keep lotterying.  Mundo and Inspirer Teaching both add a lot of kids for K.  So no need to assume where you go is where you would stay.[/quote]
