The Lists are In...

Anonymous
1)MV (2%)
2) Marie Reed Dual (IB) (Pretty sure thing if we are willing to wait until August)
3) Powell Dual Language (0% first round,maybe 25% if we wait until August)
4) Bancroft (0%)
5) Cleveland Dual Language (15%)
6) Ross (0%)
7) Capitol Montessori (12%)
8) DC Bilingual (?)
9) Appletree CH (Pretty sure thing if we wait until August)
10) Lee Montessori (?)

Also Lamb (12% if we wait until August), Stokes (0%), and SHIning Stars (30%)

My priorities are Spanish immersion (one or two way), followed by Montessori with adjustments for proximity and skewed perceptions of program quality. I have also included my estimated odds of getting into each as a one shot based on fact, rumor, and innuendo.

Why does everyone put DC Bilingual down so low below relative to other dual language programs?

I'm 19:23. I had heard there were financial issues last year with DC Bilingual, but I may not be operating with the most updated information.

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


Why Hearst over Eaton? Just curious.

PK4. We love our current charter school (Shining Stars) but don't know where they will be located next year, so we did the lottery just in case.

It's closer, but mostly because it is a small school with small class sizes (K can't get larger than 20 kids -- I didn't find that in any other DCPS). I also like that it offered Spanish, but Eaton does not.

IT is getting a lot more high rankings than I expected. Is it the curriculum/location? Would most people hand put CM above IT of they were in the fray?
