| Truth is an option if you strike out in MS. |

| You can pretty much get into any of the DCPS bilingual school in 2nd and up. |

Interesting they are not on the short waitlist for middle. Are they closing their middle school? Not a chance all those seats are filled. |

No, but people are just that hard up for acceptable middle schools I guess. Their middle school waitlists were 27, 18, and 17 after the initial lottery. |

This is really great news for anxious parents. The sixth grade lottery is so fraught. You also have Shining Stars for 6th. Not great but good to have a safety. |

I don’t think Shining Stars is a safety. Most people would prefer their local DCPS. |

| Truth opened extra seats because the high school is moving to a new building. My kid has had a really great year at Truth after my initial concerns about a smaller school. His friends are nice, his teachers are great, there is communication regularly from the classroom and administration and he is getting the extra he needs in math and the supports he needs in ELA. Hidden middle school gem for sure. |

Not necessarily for 6th. If you have a kid who would do poorly in a large DCPS middle, and got shut out of ITDS, Lee, and Truth, SSMA would be a last resort. |

But SS is basically babysitting. No way. I would move. |

I wouldn’t consider ANY of the middle schools mentioned here. I would move. |

Ouch Seaton is on the list. Too bad.
Roots and Sela are in trouble. Rocketship is very much in trouble. |
