Hyde Addison
La Salle Backus

I've seen that I can drive past all these schools on my way to work and it's ordered for preference and commute. If there's something I'm not thinking about or I should know kindly suggest. And yes I am very aware that the list looks a little bit whack. LaSalle is my neighborhood school but I don't want to take my child there. I am just putting it as a last resort I also know Sade on a normal day Hyde Addison would be my number one but [b]the chances of getting in is almost zero anyway so that's why I put it at 2nd to last.[/b][/quote]

That statement demonstrates a lack of understanding about how the lottery works. You need to watch the video on MySchoolDC about how the ranking process works. But in short: If you have a number good enough to get into Hyde-Addison (or Shepard), you still will not be matched with those schools. Because having a good number will cause you to be matched with schools that you ranked higher.

You should add Stokes Spanish, I don't understand why you don't have it. And you should consider whether there are other schools that are easier to get into that you prefer over LaSalle-Backus. With the list you have right now, either you have a good number (like well above average), or you get LaSalle-Backus. That's fine, but you might want to consider your options if you have a number that's below average but not terrible.[/quote]
