In a similar boat (although we're looking just at charters since our IB doesn't have PK3). Our preschool is convenient to my office and aftercare runs late, v. v. important for my work schedule. But we'd save so much, and hoo boy, would it be nice to loosen our belts a notch.

Red wine going here...

If you would like your kids to go to a HRCS, there is no reason not to put them at the top of your list, realist or not. Realist = safety schools at the end of your list.

So you didn't put any HRCS on at all? If so, you should have put them on top.

I have put the kid to bed, poured a large liquor drink and am now pressing refresh.
