Not sure. We're deciding among (1) a low-performing public school; (2) a private school we can't really afford; or (3) keeping him at home another year (even though he clearly needs more social contact with kids his age).
I strongly dislike all of those options, but none of them are utterly horrible. And at least we have options (2) and (3), which makes us more fortunate than a lot of people. |

| We got matched to Friendship Armstrong (admittedly our safety), and I think historically they don’t have much of a waitlist (and taken everyone from it). I’m honestly not sure why more people don’t grab it for ECE. Their Reggio program looks like an amazing, creative, and thoughtfully-designed experience. anway, if people are looking for post-lottery adds, you might want to consider Armstrong. They have an open house April 11. |

| This was us last year and we did Langley as a post-lottery add. It has been fine. Consider it if you live nearby! |

I was really open minded and got shut out from multiple low performing DCPS schools including ones that had no waitlist last year. |
