Are you in bounds for one of those Hill schools for kindergarten? If not, I would take the spot you got at Peabody or try for LT[/quote]

nah, we're in bound for Miner.   Which, honestly, seems totally fine despite allllll the drama. (But not trying to get into that here.)

Main concern of ours is the feeling (rumor?) that a lot of families bail after K at Peabody.  Is that founded?  Or just nonsense?  We're local so all these schools are easy bike ride, no issue there.  Just wanna give the kiddo the most stable path possible. [/quote]

Yes it is founded, but there are families that stick around for Watkins. It's not like everyone leaves, and there will be Hill families at Watkins. But a lower percentage than at the other schools you lotteried for.

But yes, you'll see families leave after Peabody. One factor is that due to the cluster's weird elongated zone, a decent number of families zoned for the cluster get proximity preference for LT after K when their IB becomes Watkins, because LT is a lot closer to the Peabody end of the zone than the Watkins end. That's a no-brainer for most families -- LT is closer plus considered a better school. So you see some families peel off for that. Others will get offers in K for other schools when school rosters expand and take them. Others bail for private and were really only in it for the free PK at a small school that's just ECE.[/quote]
