[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would say the kindergarten lottery tends to be your best shot at DCPS elementaries OOB. Schools can have more students per class starting in kindergarten. Schools also have more limited insight into how many IB kindergarten students will enroll by right. Both of those factors tend to result in more lottery offers in K than in other grades.

That's not to say the chances are poor in other years, but it's just a lot less predictable. Compared to middle and high school, it's a lot harder to speak in generalities about the elementary school lottery since there are so many more viable options across the city.

People here are more likely/able to help if you share specific school(s)/grade level(s) you're interested in.[/quote]

Good advice.

In my opinion the play is to stay put, continue to lottery for whatever you think is good, and if you don't get into Latin for 5th then you think harder about moving.

Tell us where you live and you'll get better advice. You might be writing off schools too easily. [/quote]
