Applied: Kindergarten, Tier 4
Reading: 99.7
Math: 96
RGC: 131

Didn’t get 1st choice, Edison RGC. Ranked it 1st because we liked the school a lot and it’s not too far.

Got 2nd choice, Decatur Classical, which we ranked because we liked it best among the schools we visited. But it’s a tough commute, 20-40 min each way according to Google Maps (the variability is especially rough). Also not close to our offices or our younger child’s preschool.

Also got Hawthorne, a choice/lottery school that has a strong reputation and is just 5 min from us.

Grappling with the choice between our favorite school that’s far vs. a very good school that’s near. Welcome others’ thoughts and experiences.

Thanks!
