I would do the reverse - enroll your child at Tulip Grove and reapply for Pullen next year if you don't like it. My child went to Tulip Grove and it was an overall very good experience academically.

However, if you are also in the Benjamin Tasker Middle School zone, then I would choose Pullen in an effort to keep your child there through the 8th grade.

I would go to Pullen and use Tulip Grove as a back up.

So I just got our specialty program lottery results and it looks like my child has a pretty good chance of getting into Kindergarten in the Creative and Performing Arts Program at Pullen. Any feedback/ experiences for this school?

I should also note that we are in the school zone for Tulip Grove ES which has pretty good ratings and will have 3 kindy classes this upcoming school year. Thanks in advance.
