Right, PP may be willing to forego PK3 if their child doesn't get into one of their top choices. PP, if you want safeties, JO Wilson and Miner have both gotten decent feedback on this board and would be a reasonable commute from the LT catchment. |

| Any sense of whether French or Spanish is more popular at Stokes? I don't have a preference so want to rank the less popular one higher (seems like most people want French?) |

\ Cap Hill is geographically EoTP but for this board, EoTP means Petworth, Brookland, CoHi, Park View etc. Cap Hill is Cap Hill. |

I would add Bridges to this list. My DC attends YY, but attended Bridges back when it was on Taylor St. (We moved to YY, because DC's older sibling attended at the time, and there was no option after PK4). A lot of YY families had families at Bridges, and everyone loved it. The school was so high-quality, and personalized for students without SN (my child was reading by the end of PS3). This may seem cosmetic, but I am in love with the new building! (http://bridgespcs.org/newbuilding/) It's the only school I've seen with a campus as nice as YY's. This is probably your best year to get in, because of the move. It's going to be on the same impossible-odds-trajectory as the other HRCs by the end of the year. Check it out and give yourself the option while you can. |

We live in Bloomingdale, and Langley is our IB school. We could make do for PS/PK, but honestly have no interest in this school. Like others before us, if by K we aren't somewhere else, we would move. |

Here's some more unsolicited advice; you're an idiot. They posted their list on DCUM. Of course people are going to weigh in. Are you really not able to connect those dots? |

By definition, doesn't that make it a temporary location and not a permanent location? I'm only 40 or so, so I'm still learning English. |

NP here, but man, you must be having a bad day. Or you are just plain nasty. Do you need posts like this to feel better? I think what PP was getting at was the implicit judgment embodied in the "Ummmm" phrasing, but whatever. Your response is completely uncalled for. |

Spanish is more popular, French is more demanding. |

That's a solid, reasonable list. Even with a terrible number, you'll get into your IB, Bruce Monroe. Bridges is a very good shot this year as well, though ranking it below your IB will knock it out of the running. Stokes is very likely a nonstarter for non siblings again. |

I was kind of wondering where to rank BM as my IB. I am thinking a lot of EotP parents may list BM as their "safety" school since its in the neighborhood and immersion, so I guess its possible that even with preference I could not get in if its ranked wrong and I get a really crappy lottery number. |

Only if your number is worse than every other person who lives IB for BM -- and if there are more of IB families who apply than slots available. Random EOTP people with overall lottery numbers better than you will not get into BM ahead of anyone who lives in the boundary and lists it as a choice. |

Whether a school is IB for you or not should have no bearing on ranking. You need to place it on your list like any other choice you put there according to your TRUE preference. The way that it's IB status may have a bearing is if you have another child in the wings. Your IB school is likely a safer bet for that other child because of the double IB/sibling advantage. |
