[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Given the most likely scenario that we wouldn't get our top preferences of Latin I, Latin Cooper, or BASIS, I added a few other middle schools to our lottery list: Inspired Teaching, Creative Minds, Two Rivers, etc.  DD does not want to leave her ES, which is fine but not great.  We don't want her at our in-boundary middle and we can't afford private.  Has someone moved a kid for 5th to one of these Pk3-8 schools mostly to not have to go through the lottery again and risk not getting in? Statistically, the chances of getting in there are better now than next year.[/quote]

It's too late for you to add these now, but we just did the 5th grade lottery and in addition to Latins and Basis, we added a whole bunch of DCPS schools that feed to better middle schools than ours (like SWWFS and Hardy). Going for just 5th is a little weird but I figured since we were playing the lottery anyways, why not? And then we would have a path to stay in DC.[/quote]

Do people actually do this? Is it worth it? I've definitely considered it as a way to guarantee an OOB spot at Stuart Hobson. But we're still a few years out from this, so I don't have a great sense of how disruptive it would actually be for my kid.[/quote]
