[quote=Anonymous]My child does very well in school. Consistently gets A's, I am very pleased with his 5th grade experience at Payne Elementary School. He was a little behind coming into 5th grade because of a poor school experience the year before last.  Now he is ahead in all subjects, Amazing experience at Payne, probably one of the best teachers in the district there.

So I really didn't do well in the lottery this year, mostly my fault, I think.  Unless a miracle happens we are planning for 6th grade at Elliot Hine.  I would like to be more prepared and do better in the next lottery.  My question is what would some of you do for a better option for 7th with a good feeder option for High School.  I don't mind a commute that isn't ridiculous.  
He really wanted to go Basis but I really don't think we have any chance of that after 5th grade?  I understand the top schools are long shots (latin, basis, etc) But what are good medium options some of you would consider sending your bright child to.  He excels in math and science and his reading and writing is catching up (hopefully).  I don't necessarily expect the best option to be available to us with the fierce competition to get into these schools, but I would like something better then what Elliot Hine provides with test scores.

I'm sorry if all of this has been covered in past posts.  I've done a lot of reading but I'm sure I missed something, this forum does seem to cover a lot. 
What would you do?
