| Which commutes would be ridiculous? |

If your goal is to pull your kid for PK4 or K and send to your IB, I would not go with the bilingual schools. You get all the hardship of a miserable commute and what is often a tough adjustment to the new language without any ultimate benefit of fluency. |

Non-swami here: I appreciate this list's absolutely sober analysis of actual geography and how your commute will work. People putting together lists like Mundo Verde, LAMB, Capitol Hill Montessori and SSMA. They're literally all over the map. |

Height might be a good choice--it's a former charter that DCPS took over, so it has no IB kids to get priority (though there is sibling preference) and the OSSE enrollment audit says it has more than 50 PK3 kids this year. It's no further than some of your other possibilities. |

I would add Inspired and Lee before Stokes. Commute is better. Inspired is tier 1 and Lee seems to do early ed very well. I wouldn’t rank YY either if you’re only planning for short term until IB. |

Swami doesn't do rankings, only assesses yours. |

Swami says ink is not dry, but deal is done. Ward 7. Eastern part. |

Swami says you need to spend less time thinking about what is a HRCS and what exactly you are looking for in a school. |

Swami says no notable expansions, but it will be a K shuffle year, with lists moving 20-30 kids, instead of 10-20. |

Swami says all will be at DCB, and your PK3 will have the better number. |

Swami says cloudy, no chance of meatballs. Seek other options. |

Swami doesn't rank, but appreciates your big-picture look and geographic honing. |
