We live between the 2 schools, but closer to MV. It’s about 15mins walking.

Then how is this a choice - walkable and a preference for an acceptable middle. Most HHI families leave BM by late elementary. You have the option to skip that difficult transition.

We have been happy at MV Cook and DCI

Pick the best commute. It’s easy to get spots in bilingual charters in K and up.

Which commute is better? I know families that liked BM in the early grades but left in later grades.

BM will probably have more native Spanish speakers if that is important to you.

We matched into one and received an offer off of the waitlist for the other. Our primary concern is maintaining and growing her Spanish language. But we also wonder about the experience in elementary school overall.
