[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maury and Brent are a tier above Ludlow-Taylor.  [/quote]

This, but OP should be fine at Ludlow if that's where the family ends up, particularly if they're not aiming for the upper elementary grades or a neighborhood middle school.[/quote]

L-T has the best of the neighborhood middle schools, so that's sort of an odd comment... But the reality is that L-T is more diverse than Brent or Maury. I personally think that's a good thing. The UMC/high achieving cohort is plenty big enough for a kid to find his/her people and L-T's scores broken down by demographics are on par w/ Brent & Maury's, and have at times been better than Brent's. I actually think the in-school experience is just as good at L-T as at Brent or Maury. On some level, the real difference is the size of the UMC cohort (75% v 95%) and the size of the PTO budget ($80K v $150K?? (guessing at the latter numbers)). [/quote]

New pre k L-T parent. It was my understanding as well that L-T was the more diverse of the 3 schools. I was absolutely shocked at the lack of diversity in pk3-k classes this year. It was disappointing. Maybe it is still true for the upper grades? Aside from that we have been happy with the school so far but it has only been a few weeks.[/quote]

Don't worry. Just stick around for the upper grades.[/quote]
