WOTP 2nd Grade options

[Anonymous]

Any options WTOP for 2nd Grade? Currently at Burroughs and trying to stay with DCPS (Deal and Wilson in the future).

What's your question? Elementary schools that feed to Deal include: Bancroft, Hearst, Janney, Lafayette, Murch, and Shepherd. Bancroft and Shepherd are EOTP.

Are you planning to move? Did you enter the lottery? Does your kid have an IEP that would require a self-contained classroom?

If the answer to all three is no, then there aren't any options.

Murch, Lafayette and Hyde have self contained classrooms [although Hyde does not feed Deal]

yeah, that was my point. The three ways in to Deal feeders are by being IB, by getting an OOB spot through the lottery, or by getting a spot in a self-contained special ed class. If OP can't do any of those, there is 0 chance (barring some scandal situation like the previous superintendent, Adrian Fenty, or Courtney Snowden).

Do any of those WTOP schools have any lottery spots for 2nd?

[Anonymous]

Some years they do have 1 or 2 openings, some years they don't. It's impossible to predict and you would need a great master number to get one of those seats. But you never know.

Fenty’s kids went to Lafayette OOB no? It was pre common lottery so nobody has proof that he didn’t get it legitimately. I have a LOT of friends that went to Lafayette back then (what 10 years ago)

The narrative on Fenty's kids at the time was …..
...the IB was West. They were twins. West only had 1 class per grade. That was not optimal for twins. Therefore they needed another option.

That was why they didn’t attend their IB. They were IB for Deal however.

There are rebuilding Eaton to have a guaranteed number of OOB spots going forward. It’s always been more of a DC-wide school, not a neighborhood school.

The broader question is why? Eaton has historically has spots available for OOB b/c the zone that feeds into it has a bunch of very large homes where families have the financial flexibility to send their child to private school. It was not because someone from Central Office said - let's make Eaton a DC Wide School.

And that is changing. There will probably always be room for some OOB students but the IB population is growing. Last year, only 4 students got a spot via the lottery into second grade. With the modernization they are only increasing the student population from 470 to 490, so it’s not impossible, but nobody OOB should count on it.
