IB for Powell, and probably would rank it below ITS.

I liked it last year for PK3 but we didn't get in. I was really thinking more about what would be the right way for my kid to learn than about test scores, and I read somewhere that the low numbers had something to do with the relatively new upper school. It's a short drive for us, the facilities and grounds are gorgeous, I have faith that the upper school will pull up and I love the idea that we can get in somewhere and be done with the lottery for good--or at least a few years.

Diversity in the student population was also a big factor in our household and it's hard to find in schools that are convenient to us. Eaton comes closest and that's why we ranked it above our IB school, Powell.

Why? I'm just curious where, after all the conversation, people ended up.

We applied PK3, convenience and location were larger factors to us.

If convenience and location are your main criteria, I don't understand your list at all. You're literally all over the city, though skewed a bit eastward, I guess. Do both parents work in the city in widely different locations, and live in a third different location? Or did you use convenience/location for ranking just a few of the 12, then go crazy with the rest?
