[quote=Anonymous]There are almost no students at the neighborhood high schools other than Wilson who are proficient in math and English. I think Eastern and Coolidge have the most potential, but even at Eastern only 2% of kids get a 4 or 5 on the math PARCC (86% score a 1 or 2, so they aren't close to grade level). Heather Schoell is an Eastern parent/booster who could probably give you a sense of what it's like to be the very rare white/middle class family there. But I'm not sure it's much cheaper to move to Capitol Hill than to stay in your current home WOTP. And your kid might not mind being the rare kid on grade level, or you might not care if your kid *is* on grade level, but it's hard to know that right now.

If your kid is young, you could move where you like and move back if your kid doesn't get into a high school you like ten years from now. It might be expensive but if you can afford it that's certainly an option.

To your question about if you can apply to DCPS application schools if you don't go to a DCPS middle--yes, you can apply from DCPS, charter, private, out of state, etc. You just have to establish residency in DC if you enroll. DC will likely go through a redistricting processing before your kid gets to HS and other policies could change too.[/quote]
