[quote=Anonymous]Read the FAQs on the myschool DC website and watch the videos. Understanding the lottery is helpful. Think about what is most important to you: test scores, outdoor space, commute (a lot of people undervalue commute but having a short trip to school and classmates nearby can be very good for your quality of life), language immersion, class size, diversity, middle school feeder pattern, etc. etc. Test scores are very closely tied to race and income. If you want a school that does well with kids from poorer families, look at https://empowerk12.org/bold-improvement-schools Go to the MySchoolDC fair in December and talk with lots of schools. As other people have mentioned, most of the popular schools have very few PK slots for kids who are out of bounds and/or don't have older siblings at the school. You should absolutely be prepared to send your kid to your in-bounds school and/or to continue your current child care arrangements next year.[/quote]
