I get it.
We are not looking for the perfect school just a good school to start with.
We are European and the school system here is completely different from what we know. That is why I am asking advices about these 2 schools
If there are about the same then we will probably go with the first one which sent you an offer.

Thank you!
You are right about that but we just hope to give them the best start.
We live in DC but work in MD so it's almost the same to go pick them up.

Is there any more parent with feedback on these schools ?
We just got a spot at Inspired Teaching and will probably get an offer from the two other ones since we are #1 and #2 on their waitlist.

The CHML building seems to be in the worst condition, and if you stay long-term you may be relocated during a renovation. But depending on where you live and work it might be the best commute.

I'd prefer IT or 2R for middle school, if you're thinking that far ahead.

Three very good schools. I'd shoot for the one that gives you the easiest commute. It matters.

Parent of child at TR Young. Admin, staff, and faculty are great! Very warm and inviting school environment. Newly renovated school building and plenty of open field for recess/PE.

Congrats on getting a great number! Lucky dilemma to have.

Very few people have sent children to more than one of those schools.

We are at Inspired Teaching and it's a very good school.
