Inspired Teaching

LATIN for middle school. All of our friends's children who go there are happy.
Also, never heard any disturbing stories or shadiness about management.

We're already at our dream school, but I gotta say, LAMB has been crossing my path a lot lately (most recently at an event with a couple of LAMB kids) and I am SO IMPRESSED by the kids I meet who go to LAMB. Smart, kind, interesting to talk to... Not that that is any kind of concrete evidence that LAMB is a great school, but my limited experience with LAMB students has been incredibly positive.

it's best not to judge a book by it's outward appearance. janney has some issues should be considered when naming it as a dream school.

Hearst.

8 more days! We know MV won't happen and that's fine. We're IB Hearst and liked the look and feel of the school on the two tours we took. The kids and teachers seemed engaged, the construction looks like it will create a nice space, and walking to school will be nice. My only concern: the lack of a gym and how PE will handled on rainy/snowy days.

Current Hearst family here. I can attest that walking to school is great! Once the new space is finished, the kids will use the multi-purpose space for indoor gym. For now, the PE teacher does an awesome job with indoor recess.

Good luck with Mundo Verde, but if you don't get in, welcome to Hearst!

Thanks. Secretly I'm hoping only for Hearst but DH really wants Spanish. It's a win-win, obviously for us, but I really want the neighborhood school! And thanks for the good words about PE. DC is coming from a preschool with awesome facilities and is used to moving a lot.

If it helps at all, Hearst will have a full-time Spanish teacher starting next year, and we also have an afterschool Spanish class. My kid came from a bilingual daycare so Spanish is important to me too. Of course it's not as good as being in an immersion school, but it's something!

Love Shepherd. If we lived 3 blocks closer, we'd be IB.

I would say Shepherd and LAMB.

Can you can proximity preference for Shepherd?

No. Unfortunately, I am 3 blocks from the Shepherd boundary (Alaska and 16th), but about 10 blocks from the school itself. We considered buying IB when we purchased but it would have meant another $200k compared to our Brightwood home.
