[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have the friend call the DC Ombudsman.   Here is a link:

If the child is in DCPS, DC should provide placement in another school.

Seriously, do this.  Years ago I knew somebody who got a placement at a desired school (officially w/o spots) due to bullying.[/quote]

OP here.  I will tell my friend to do this.  One issue - the current school is a charter school, so I'm not sure how it would play out - any insight?  The in-boundary school is quite bad and there are a lot of behavioral problems as well.

Thanks so much for the advice about the short waitlist list - my friend is going to call a number of schools from there.[/quote]

You can’t get moved to a desired DCPS school (as opposed to your boundary school) if you are now in a charter. The OSSE ombudsman officecoild help get a better response from the charter but your friend may feel things are too far gone.

She should move to the IB DCPS school which can’t be worse than the situation you describe. [/quote]
