[quote=mcjd79]We toured Bunker Hill today and it seemed like a nice school. Big bright class rooms, long term teachers and a new principal that is trying and has made improvements. The Principal talked about wanting to make it a really great and improved neighborhood school but they currently lack funding for a lot of things and dont have a PTO or PTA. They do have a library, music, art, Spanish and PE weekly.

We struck out on our 1st round lottery picks which was filled charters. (Mostly waits 200 or 300+, but a few in the 100s). So, we did some more looking and added a few nearby DCPS to our 2nd lottery list. I think our highest PCS number was in the 30s. (But then we also figured it wasn't worth adding the higher wait list schools. 
We have been offered a Prk3 seat at Bunker Hill. I would love any feed back possible on the school. We are also 'Early Stages' and we're just this week offered a seat at Truesdell. But given school is out soon late it doesn't really make sense to start now. (Also we had not orginally planned on getting a seat this year as it stands our child would miss the last week or so due to prior obligations. So we hate to take the seat from someone that needs it this year) Sadly this means we may not get offered a seat a Trusedell for 17-18.

Thoughts on the two schools?? Or our 2nd round DCPCS list??
