[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not OP but in a similar situation and I know that I would love to get my kid into a good program so that I don't have to move at K or fifth grade.  Not all of us can afford private or plan to move out of the city.  I'd love to hear real answers to his/her questions.[/quote]

The real answer is that you should apply to every charter school that interests you, and as many DCPS as possible.  EL Haynes is not an easy school to get into.  Most of those 3 y.o. spots are going to be taken by the younger siblings of current students who will get preference over your child.  They'll get a few hundred applications for a dozen or so spaces.  Your odds are not good.  People who expect to get into Haynes and don't understand the lottery system are likely to be disappointed.

MV & IT are new enough that your odds will be much better.  Some people won't commit to a school that doesn't have a permanent location.  They're both probably going to be very popular schools though, as time goes by.

Bancroft is probably the easiest to get into.

If you're interested in Spanish (which I'm guessing based on your interest in MV), you should also have a look at LAMB and Stokes (charter schools) and Tyler Immersion (a DCPS on the Hill).[/quote]
