[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it is incredible short sighted to choose a school for the next 6 years based on whether your kindergartner will have two recesses. Please think about upper grades as you order your preferences. They come faster than you can imagine.[/quote]

This. Especially to consider a school like CMI where most every person I know is going crazy to get out of the school. [/quote]

Can you expand on why every person you know is trying to get out of CMI? Considering it for PK3, from the open house, it seemed like a very warm environment with staff that seemed invested in the school. And they mentioned that a lot of the administrative staff was all fairly new and they were aware that they needed to make some changes. And the student to teacher ratio was wonderfully low. But I only know one person who has a child there and she is happy....would love any more details on the bad things you've heard![/quote]

NP and current CMI parent. I would take the CMI detractors on this board with a big grain of salt. My 1st grader is thinking, reading, writing, learning, and having recess 2x per day. We are not desperate to leave.

Have you ever entered the lottery since you started attending? Are you doing so this year?[/quote]

This will be the first year since we started at CMI that we are doing the lottery. I’m putting SWS, ITS, 2 Rivers 4th St on the list - schools that have better test scores on the list. (Our inbound, Noyes, does not have better test scores.) I know test scores aren’t everything, but... I don’t know. If we have an awesome number and get into one of these [very hard to get into] schools I’ll take a good look at our options, but if we stay at CMI, I’m happy with that. FWIW, we don’t plan to be in DC for middle school so we’re only concerned with elementary.[/quote]

ITS is not that hard to get into.  Lots of people have come over from CMI in the past few years.

Why are you leaving CMI exactly, then?[/quote]
