OP, I would reach out to the schools you want to move inbounds for to send your 3rd grader. Tell each school you're moving to DC this summer and you're in the process of finding a rental in that boundary. They might be able to accommodate your PK4 child if you're inboundary and the 3rd grader is going there. This will only work if they have spots for all IB PK4 students, not if there are IB PK4 students who are on the waiting list. You'll need to actually have the rental secured for this to even work, but reach out to them now. This could inform you which schools will accommodate you so you move into that boundary. Principals are much more accommodating for IB students with siblings at the school (or at least they were a few years back, not sure about now).
Thanks! Will do!

PK4 and 3rd grader next fall
Both have been in public Montessori previously and had amazing experiences.
We might be able to swing rent in Ward 3 so that may put us in bounds for some decent schools but I would love to keep the kids in Montessori or Montessori like schools.
We are awaiting an offer for my husband's job so after that we could nail down a rental somewhere in Ward 3 or Ward 4....
And I don't know what to do this summer either?
I'm not entirely sure but this may not be the right thread for you. I think the Swami needs your list...not general super broad questions.
So here is my list....but I won't be able to apply til we know for sure...
Do the schools we live in boundry for really might not accept us? Like Murch, Mann, Lafayette, etc.?

Shining Stars
Breakthrough
Creative Minds Int.
Murch
Mann
Lafayette
Stoddert
