[quote=Anonymous]Best option: 1) play prK3 lottery. If you win, you can move. 2) if you lose, you can send the child to Murch in a few years.

Here is the tricky part. Even if you win the lottery for a highly regarded charter (which we did), you don't know if it will be a good long term fit for your kid. Lots of kids have special needs that don't appear until later and even the great charters are only somewhat equipped to handle them. Also, lots of charters have particularly learning approaches that just might not be the best fit for your family. So, buying a house based on a PReK3 assignment has some risks to it. (But so does waiting to be in bounds for Murch K and assuming that will be a school that works for your kid.....)

It's a bit of a crap shoot.

We live inbounds for Lafayette but child attends a highly regarded charter. I am frequently grateful for the amazing "backup" option of Lafayette. And we are also in an apartment, although we chose to buy one and settle into condo living long term (it is a great, easy life for working parents). We are also staying here for the Deal feeder, I'm not sold on DCI yet.
