[quote=Anonymous]Our kiddo is entering the PK3 lottery this year, and our in-bounds school is Tyler. (I understand we may not be guaranteed a slot there, but for purposes of this question let's assume we do.) I understand they are going full Spanish immersion next year, which we are fine with and can see the benefits of. But it is highly unlikely that we will stay in this neighborhood, or even on the Hill, for more than a few more years. Is there any benefit or harm to starting our kid into a full immersion program only to likely switch him to a "regular" school in a few years?

If starting him in Spanish only to stop in a few years is a horrible idea, any suggestions on lottery rankings? It seems like any of the other neighborhood DCPS options are total no-gos in terms of getting in out of bounds (Payne, Maury, Brent, Van Ness), so it seems like we are looking at:

SWS
ITS
Appletree LP

Am I missing something major here? Should we still list those DCPS options even though the historic data shows basically zero chance of us getting in? Short commute is important to us so we are looking at SE/NE.[/quote]
