[quote=Anonymous]The DCC allows you to lottery into a choice of high school among the 5 schools, regardlessof which is your "home" school. That being said, if you're not zoned for Blair, it's almost impossible to get that choice in the lottery, while if you put Northwood as your first choice, it's almost guaranteed. Blair is far superior to Northwood, especially because of its size, because there are many more options for electives, sports, and extracurricular activities than any other DCC school. Also, the science program at Northwood is sub-par, although they're working on improving it, and it may be fine by the time your kids are old enough.

There's also lots of high school magnets and academies which mean there's a good chance of not going to the home high school anyway.

As for middle school, if you're at ESS, there's a chance of getting into a "local" seat at the TPMS magnet. My oldest is in 8th grade at the TPMS magnet and loves it. My younger child is crushed that they did not get selected in the lottery for next year. [/quote]
