[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Move for 5th grade (seriously) so you can establish residency the year before. This will allow your child to enter all of the middle school lotteries.

My older kids are both at College Park Academy, and it's terrific. It's lottery based, but preference is given to folks who live in the College Park area. I think 35% of the seats are held for kids in the CP area - not sure if that includes Greenbelt or not, but I think it includes Hyattsville, Riverdale, UP, CP, and Berwyn Heights.

Middle school is the wild card. There are lots of great high school options in the CP area. Most folks here talk about the S/T program at Eleanor Roosevelt, but Duval has the aerospace engineering program, Parkdale has IB, College Park Academy has a high school, as does CMIT in Laurel. And for performing arts, Northwestern or Suitland!

Depending on where you move, your eligibility for certain schools will be different. For example STEM school for northern PG is ER but for south is different. [/quote]

This is good advice.  I am 99% sure that the zone for preferred entrance to CPA does not include Greenbelt.  Most people I know with kids in CPA live in University Park and they are happy.

Middle school can be tough but if you zoned for Greenbelt MS and ERHS public school should be an option.
