OP, it depends a little bit where you live on the Hill and also if you're IB is an option (ie, are you looking only for PK3 and PK4?). But I'd probably rank:

SWS
2R 4th
ITS
2R Young
CHML

If you're really close to 2R Young, I might move it up on the list. (my kid goes to one of these schools)

What about the other good montessori schools, if you like montessori?
Lee is the best; Shining Stars is acceptable and a better shot of getting in.

Test-drive in bad weather and consider your parking situation at the school.


I agree with ranking by commute convenience. Two Rivers has middle school too, by the way.

I'm happy with a kid at one on OP's list and living less than .5 mi from school is a big part of why it's so great for us with both parents reverse commuting outside of the city.

We live on the hill and one parent works from home so drop off isn't a big deal.

OP here - I should say I realize these are all long shots and that we are likely going to end up at our meh IB school.

How would you rank the following:

Two Rivers (both campuses)
Inspired Teaching
SWS
Capital hill Montessori- Logan

It's so hard to tell from open houses alone. I would love to hear from current parents.
