Does anyone else have multiple inboundary schools?

[Anonymous]

We have three. I'm getting the impression here that's unusual. Didn't get in anywhere else in the lottery so need to decide between them. This is for kindergarten.

Enjoy! What are your choices?

Where school closures have happened it's relatively common. E.g., those within the former Clark boundary in Petworth.

We're IB for Thomson and Francis-Stevens.

Interesting. OP here, we need to decide between Langley, Garrison and Seaton. Only Langley is conveniently located. Garrison seems more popular but it's not walking distance so would not really be a "neighborhood" school for us. Likewise Seaton (minus the popularity).

Langley is our IB school too. I do not know much about Garrison and Seaton. We toured Langley. They have a great principal (she has great reputation at DCPS) and the facility is nice. The classrooms are not very diverse though but I think it will slowly start to change over the years since more and more Bloomingdale families are considering it.

OP here. Unfortunately while many Bloomingdale families seem to consider it, our experience over the past few years has been that not many actually take the chance and go there. I don't really see how this will change much this year.

I understand. I live in the neighborhood. People are just afraid to make the first move (us included). THe community should seriously come together and help make this a better neighborhood school option for all of us. I would say Langley has good potential though.

Many downtown/mid city families are in bounds for multiple schools.

All of you must have some awesome WL numbers and have gotten into at least one of them. It must be nice to have more options from the get-go.

IB for Raymond and Powell (I would have been in-bounds for Clark before it closed).

For those of us who are beyond PS and PK we have a right to attend any of our 2 or 3 options. They aren't thrilling choices, but it is nice all the same.
