[quote=Anonymous]I was told this called for for its own post, not an entry in that thread so: taking that advice! Apologies as I'm sure this general issue is perennially covered...I somehow haven't found this exact answer answered in prior posts:

If your kid is in a charter elementary school that's fine for PK - as I know most charters are - but then gets progressively less impressive once you have to start actually learning...and you've come up just short in the lottery for your target schools both PK years...and your zoned school is 100% not an option - what's the play? Is there any realistic (emphasis on that word) hope for OOB lottery placement into a decent DCPS school in NW - not a charter, an actual neighborhood school - for K or 1st? Or should we plan to rent our current place out and somehow find a somewhat equivalent rental in upper NW? Is there any ELEMENTARY school in the city itself that's worth moving for? Or should we just rent our place out and move to MoCo - is a gifted program worth moving for, if you think that might (might! who knows, it's still early! but signs definitely point in this direction so far...) be a factor? If so, when? If you did move - or didn't - when and how did you make that call?

Thanks for not flaming me despite my relative ignorance of prior conversation. We're feeling a bit crushed right now - got very close this year, fell just short, agonizingly so - and a bit lost as to our next move.[/quote]
