As a white K parent at LT, I am VERY happy with how things are going so far for my child & feel very positive about the school -- she's learning a lot in a safe & respectful environment and has friends of varying ethnicities.[/quote]

Do you plan to keep your child at the school next year?  Did you play the lottery last year?  [/quote]

Yeah, I played the lottery -- there are two specific schools that appeal to me for very specific reasons that have nothing to do with academics. I went ahead and filled out all six choices, b/c it seemed pointless not two -- but when we got a place at Tyler (=not one of the two specific schools), I turned it down w/out hesitation.

Even if she -had- gotten into one of the two specific schools, I'm not sure we would've switched -- I really would've had to think hard about it. After two years at LT, my daughter feels at home there, and we feel comfortable there as a family.

I don't know yet what I'll do this time around. We *really* like LT,  at this point I think we'd be happy for her to go through 5th grade. However, my daughter does have to deal with this other factor that these two specific schools are better prepared to address, and I can't in good conscience shrug my shoulders and dismiss it as irrelevant.

Realistically, the odds she'll get in to one of those two specific schools are slim; if she stays at LT through 5th, I'm fine with that.
