[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The MS years start at Inspired and Capital City at 5th as well.[/quote] Yes but unlike Latin or Basis, you can also lottery into these schools for elementary to get a feed for the MS, and both of these schools take kids at 6th or later via lottery. This is in comparison to Latin and BASIS, where you basically get one shot for 5th grade. These schools do not have an elementary feeder so there is no alternative method for getting access to the school other than the 5th grade lottery, and they also almost never have spots for upper grades available in subsequent lotteries (BASIS in particular is known for choosing not to backfill even when students leave the school). So these schools belong in different categories in terms of planning. You can start trying to lottery for these schools staring in PK3 and have many, many opportunities to get in by MS (especially if you have multiple kids). Not true for Latin/BASIS where you get one shot.[/quote]
