[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our PreK-3 daughter was waitlisted 120's for all of our preferred schools, while matched with IB Ludlow Taylor.

We have heard really bad things about Ludlow Taylor and don't really know what we should do at this point. Advice?

Current ludlow taylor parents' feedback appreciated...

Did not read the whole thread because I can guess the content from having read many others LT discussions. I just wanted to add that we have also matched to LT and my 3yo is going to go there next year. If it makes you feel better we, the parents, are married and both hold science PhDs from an Ivy. I would not worry so much about preK.[/quote]

OP here again. We are not worried about Pre-K. We are worried about years 4,5,6,7 and children 2,3,... and so on. I've worked in a lot of different companies, lived in different cities and houses, and we were somewhat thinking of moving over middle school and highschool and I just couldn't stomach it. I too am from an ivy, have worked abroad, and come from a super-academic family. A lot of my friends are in the DC school system, albeit in the past 5-6 years. The Principal and the culture they create is a big deal.

Given the WL at other schools, your best bet is to buy time and do ECE at LT- which is almost universally praised. In most places w/o universal preschool you would go to daycare or private preS, so the 'school bonding' experience you seek would not start till later anyway. 
I don't think going to LT while considering it 'free day care' is all that bad; especially because in reality is not free, but rather paid for indirectly through taxes. You might as well save the money you might need for tuition at a private later on. [/quote]
