[quote=Anonymous]LT Parent here.  For those of you on the fence about the school here is my take on it (in no particular order).

1.  The teachers are great.  They have pushed our child to do more things than I thought was possible for a 4 year old to do.  I am referring to all the teachers - art, drama, music, science, as well as the student's primary teachers.

2.  The physical plant of the school has improved dramatically and is only going to get better.  The parents and administration (the dreaded Principal Cobbs) have secured a significant grant for the outdoor space.  We are hoping to parlay that and another grant into something even better.  The plans for all the green space as outlined by the architectural firm who did the interior are amazing.

3.  There is a disconnect between many of the families who live nearby and those who don't.  Unfortunately a lot of those difference seem to fall along racial lines and can make it challenging to arrange for activities outside of school with some classmates.

4.  There are people from MD who are cheating and sending their child/children to LTES.

5.  It has the potential to be another great neighborhood school - test scores have continued to improve.  The more involved families we have the more likely this trend is to continue.

6.  Principal Cobbs is not the warm and fuzzy principal that I remember from my youth but I don't believe she is an impediment to my child's education.

People can continue to play the lottery and travel all over the city for their child's primary education and I'm sure they will.  However, I can tell you that it is awesome to be able to walk to/from school every day.  We hope to build lasting relationships with families in the community where our children all attend the same school.  That is how I was raised in the 'burbs and how I want to raise my kid.

That is all.  Good night and everyone have a drink and a good weekend!
