[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Welcome! We can certainly help you out. Is this for a long stay, or just a year or two?

Some schools are by specific address and if you live within the boundary you have the right to attend for K and up at all times, but there's no guarantee of preschool. Others are citywide and require that you live in DC by the time you register (which would be the first week of May). How does that fit with your timeline?

Since it's McNair, I would start by checking out Amidon-Bowen and Van Ness since those are nearby. You might really enjoy a row house neighborhood with other kids around, and the wharf is fun. I love walking places, having little friends nearby, the library and playground and pool, etc. Kids don't need a yard when they have so many nice parks!  Tyler (if you want Spanish instruction) and Watkins may also appeal to you. I can't recommend Brent because they are having a renovation and will be in an offsite location, aside from that it's good. If your husband doesn't mind a longer commute or to Metro and walk, there are tons of schools to consider. What style of school do you like-- more traditional, language immersion, Montessori, etc? That will help narrow it down.

The key with the lottery is to stick to schools that work for you logistically.[/quote]

Amidon-Bowen parent here.  It’s a good school and the neighborhood is very friendly and welcoming and social.  The feeder pattern isn’t great so most kids in the elementary are neighborhood kids and there’s not a lot of lottery competition even for preK.[/quote]
