[quote=Anonymous]OP, focus on the fact that you have a 7th grader and you have plenty of time to prepare your approach so you have backup plans.

I have an 8th grader and don't know anyone completely shut out yet (as in, only option is their in boundary DCPS which they are *not* willing to attend). Current public charter school which ends in 8th grade and doesn't feed to any HS worked with students and families to plan HS applications and lottery approach. These are scenarios I'm aware of outside of student getting into their first choice school:

- student will attend 2nd or 3rd choice DCPS selective HS
- student will attend 2nd, 3rd, or 4th choice public charter HS
- student will attend Catholic or other independent/private school
- student will attend in boundary HS that was their last choice among public schools but still ok
- student will attend public charter HS that was not their preferred choice but for which they were matched because of sibling preference (sibling already attends)

Some families had plans to go to private HS or move out of DC for HS (e.g., to become eligible for MD or VA in-state college tuition) since kids were small.[/quote]
