We’re also IB for Noyes.  After visiting, we dropped a number of the schools you have listed off our list. Bethune, for example - totally disorganized and gave conflicting info about some of the basics. Was very impressed by Noyes principal and don’t feel like we need to avoid it all costs. I’m curious about your ranking - priority language? Or Montessori? Or tier/star score? I’m not seeing a pattern. Have you visited everywhere?

FWIW, here’s our current thinking-

Inspired 
Lee (most likely, still on the fence about Montessori)
Burroughs 
Langdon ES
Noyes

I have not visited all of these yet, still working through the open houses so this list will probably change.  I must have visited Bethune on a good day because I was impressed with the staff and liked the classrooms.  I still need to visit Noyes, but have only heard good things lately so I am happy about that.

As far as ranking, I like language immersion if we can get in for prek3.  I know it’s completely different, but I also really like Montessori for early childhood education and I think my child would be fine in any of these schools.  Location is a big factor for me.  Ideally I’d like to be able to walk to the school.  DCB and CMI are on the way to work.

Did you like Burroughs and Langdon more than Noyes?[/quote]
