[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will older child still be enrolled at the charter you're hoping to send the younger one to, though?

Some schools (IT for example) are PK-8. Others (Achievement Prep, Capital City) are actually separate schools for elementary and middle schools, though they share a campus. If your older child is in one of the latter types of schools, the younger child may not qualify for sibling preference at the elementary just because the older is enrolled at the middle school. Best to check with the school, and with MySchoolDC.[/quote]

Yes, she will be enrolled at the school during lottery time. Thanks again.[/quote]

Not sure that is the relevant question. While it's called a "sibling attending" preference the FAQ for MSDC says "If your child is admitted with a sibling preference, be prepared to prove that your children are siblings when you enroll [b]them[/b]" (emphasis added). It kind of goes against the purpose of the preference to take a kid whose sibling will never attend school with them. But it wouldn't be the first nonsensical thing DC schools have done. I'd just check, and get the answer in writing, so you don't end up with an unpleasant surprise next spring.[/quote]

Don’t schools like Latin have alumni preference? Maybe OP’s school has something similar.[/quote]

Myschooldc just shows it as having sibling attending, sibling offered, and child of staff preferences. Maybe Latin allows sibling attending preference for the middle school when a sib is enrolled in the high school and vice versa (that would make sense).[/quote]
