[quote=Anonymous]I'd stick with the school that is working for you. You might like your IB or feeder middle school just fine in 2029 when your kid is actually going to go there. They might redraw boundaries and you could have rights to a different school you like. A charter could open down the block from you. Schools you currently think you'd like for MS might close, or change, or stay the same but not be a good fit for who your kid turns out to be in 2029. If you're happy where you are, stay. If you continue to be happy but wind up wanting a different middle school option, you can lottery for 5th grade for charters that start at 5th (Latin, BASIS), charters that start earlier but go through 8th or 12th (ITS, Cap City,  Two Rivers, Haynes, maybe some DCI feeders) and DCPS elementaries that feed into middle schools you prefer. You'll likely get in somewhere, and if you don't you can try again for 6th. And if that doesn't work you can move or consider private school or do a less-than-ideal 6th grade year and re-evaluate for 7th grade. But that's all so far away that I'd take things a couple years at a time and not get too bogged down in what your current 4 year old will be like, or need, at age 12.[/quote]
