[quote=Anonymous]Hello!

You may recall that I posted about our family moving to DC next summer (https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/994913.page). Well...life sometimes does crazy things, and we are now displaced after Hurricane Ida (we are New Orleans residents). It is looking like it will be weeks or longer before power is restored...which is a topic for another thread (infrastructure, hello?).

There will be no school for the foreseeable future. While many are evaluated and have access to internet for remote education (like I do), many are trying to live in a place that is uninhabitable (summer in New Orleans without electricity) because they don't have the financial means to relocate, or don't have access to internet, etc.

As such, we are now considering bumping up that timeline and making a much-sooner-than-expected move. Because of our so-thorough thread, I was starting to plan for a move in the Wilson district, while starting to gather application info for the selective high schools & charter schools. Insert record-scratching sound here.

While I will do my own homework, thought I'd also ask you for info on what schools "feed" into Wilson, and what in-boundary MIDDLE schools would be good to consider. Our son would be 3 weeks behind his peers, but he's motivated and could catch up. This is obviously a nightmare but it's worth considering making that move now, rather than being displaced and waiting for things to get back to normal. Thank you for reading this long post & any suggestions you have for an 8th grade program worth considering that would have us relatively well poised to enter Wilson (while also applying for selective high schools for the following year).
