Ask them to recommend top 4-5 neighborhoods for good elementary schools. Buy in the area you can best afford. Wait 2-3 years and see if you feel like you need to move. Life has enough things you need to sink time into without doing it now. Spend the extra time fighting autocracy. Your children will thank you more for that.

I would say about a 1% chance your realtor has any useful information beyond just move to a JKLMM.

Relators are also NOT allowed to make subjective comments about schools.

OP, here is a thread from last year when the myschoolsdc site posted a list of the schools with short waitlists (looks like they didn't post it until May): https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1204063.page

You could use that as a guide to fill out a post-lottery application for your kids, focusing on the schools that are likely to have short waitlists for PK3 and PK4.

She gave me wrong information. Like straight up wrong. Btw there is no language preference for dci feeders.
