[quote=Anonymous]Let's work backwards. OP wants a school where she can get in for PK3, with okay test scores and a path that is "long term" which I guess means through 8th or feeding to an adequate middle school, SWW@FS being an adequate middle school in OP's view. High school doesn't seem to matter at this stage. Okay.  So, what other middle schools are as good as SWW@FS? ITS, Stuart-Hobson I suppose.  maybe Cap City and EL Haynes.  DCI if OP is into that.  So here's the list (in no order)

Inspired Teaching
YY, Stokes, DCB, LAMB, MV (maybe) depending on OP's interest.
Thomson
JO Wilson as the only Stuart-Hobson feeder that OP has even a small chance of getting into for PK3.
TR and CHML, OP thinks are long-term plans but if you look at the middle school test scores specifically, they're not very good, so OP may re-think.
EL Haynes
Cap City

So OP, unless you're really into all of these schools to fill your list, you'll want to add some schools that don't check all of your boxes just to increase your chances of getting a spot anywhere at all.

I would suggest that you not borrow trouble by thinking about the distant future. DCPS and charters can and do change their feeder patterns and preferences. Schools move location, open, close, get new principals, change programming, etc.  There's just so much that can chance between now and then. You think you want a long-term path, but dollars to donuts what you want even more than that is a well-functioning elementary school where behavior is well-managed and most of the kids are on or above grade level.  And that ain't Two Rivers or CHML.  Sorry.
