| What could make an event like this worth it? I don’t get it. |

The chance to make a more informed decision about which schools to lottery for and the rank you should give to each. |

| I wish that DC would send that amateur chancellor Antwad W. back to Oakland from whence he came. |

| I thought it was worthwhile. My goal was to get a quick feeling for a large number of schools, and it was definitely a way to do that. |

Did you find any hidden gems? |

| Didn’t go. Our Ib is a good school and hoping to get a spot there for prek4. All charters seem to be impossible to get into just like other schools nearby. |

My son is looking for a high school. It was helpful for my DC. He spoke to students and admins and he has a much better list now.
We will follow up with open houses at his top 2-3 choices. |

| It was fine. I wish more schools would offer open houses outside of business hours. I can't make it to most of them. Annoying. |

I’d like to know this too. I’d like to know what schools that aren’t usually spoken highly about here impressed people. |

But what would be the point of it being an open house if you didn't see the school while students were there? |
