[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of the Hill schools are better than 90% of the charters. Should think about that. Once you know your IB, you should come back for advice. [/quote]

Thanks for that. My IB would be Watkins[/quote]

What grades are you looking at? Many of the highest-regarded charters are bilingual ones that do not take kids after a certain grade. I'm not sure there are charters you'd like more--maybe Two Rivers or Inspired Teaching School? Possibly Capital City but I wouldn't think it was worth the extra commute--same with both Lee Montessori campuses, unless you LOVE the Montessori model.

You could also apply to DCPS elementary schools that feed into Deal and Hardy (this will not be a good commute); Brent, Van Ness, Maury, and School Within School (maybe Capitol Hill Montessori and Ludlow-Taylor) on/near the Hill; and Ross (maybe School Without Walls at Francis-Stevens but again I don't think it's better than Watkins). Your odds at all of these schools are terrible. Many take no kids at all through the lottery.

You should also look into Capitol Hill Day School, St. Peter's, and maybe Friends Community School (it's in PG County but many Hill families attend). Or reconsider moving to the Watkins district--you sound like someone who would be more comfortable with the schools west of Rock Creek Park.
