[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks for the responses. did it take a toll on your kid to keep losing friends? The lottery process is so frustrating. [/quote]

No, if anything it was harder on me.  A lot of people still live in the area so we see them.  And I know in my heart we'll leave eventually too, so it's kind of good to normalize the idea that kids change schools sometimes.  You might need to make a little more effort to socialize with the kids who are still there or those who are new additions.

I might feel differently if I felt better about our school.  I'm very involved and volunteer and serve on the PTA board.  So I know that there are some very real shortcomings of the school and I think it helps nobody to minimize their significance.  I'm the type to prioritize diversity and minimize the number of times I move my kids, and I think a lot of the nearby charters are not as good as they might seem.  But I certainly understand that people's needs aren't being met.  And I'm fortunate enough to own a townhouse.  If I were living in a tiny condo with these screaming, flatulent hyenas I call my offspring, I'd move away too.
