Agree SSMA is a disaster but I don’t know why you’d give it up for Perry St Appletree.


Commute and the administration wasn't a complete train wreck (at least on the Appletree side of PSP).

What are you considering when you say “possibly”?


We're in the low single digits for MV P so it's not a sure thing that we'll get an offer. Considering all the obvious things. Spanish vs. not Spanish. DCI vs ITS middle school. Larger school vs. small school. Application high schools vs DCI. The distance to DCI. MV's reputation for management issues. Things like that.



You will regret going to a spanish immersion in first grade.


You don’t know where PP currently is nor do you know their native language.


We're in a Spanish DL program already since PK3, so no worries. Matched with ITS this year and enrolled but waiting to see what happens.

I'll start: SWS PK3 (sibling pref)


What school are you choosing over SWS?


We are moving out of the DC area this summer.


What upper grades at SWS are you vacating?


This is what Swami doesn't get. Even at sought after schools there are always at least a handful of unexpected relocations this time of year.
