[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're zoned for Peabody for preschool and Kindergarten, and it'll be perfectly fine. So you have a few years before you really need to think too hard about it. [/quote]

Thanks!

So (theoretically) Peabody is likely a good choice for those, and then after that it's worth exploring more?[/quote]

Yes. I wouldn't bother to think much about it right now-- you're just filling your head with information that will soon be out of date. Plan on Peabody and then re-evaluate when the time comes. Schools can improve or get worse over the course of 5 years and there's no point in trying to think about it now.

When you're actually entering the lottery you can look into other schools in your area, but since kids living in each DCPS school's boundary get preference, you won't realistically get into the good DCPS schools near you for PK3. You will not get into, for example, Brent, for preschool, though you might for older grades. Any school you could get into from outside the boundary will be no better than Peabody.  Some schools (charters and a few DCPS schools) do not have a boundary. So you could look at School-Within-School. You don't live near any charters that are better than Peabody, in my opinion. So plan on going to Peabody, and then when you have a more clear idea of the type of school you're looking for, you can check out other options.

Your child will have a nice time at Peabody with many little neighborhood friends. [/quote]
