[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Easiest solution---You should try to move in-boundary to the school you like best. That may mean moving to an expensive area of the city, so I'm not sure what you hope to spend on your house/rent budget. Other wise, like the other posters said, the Charters are 100% lottery with sibling preference. I know Elsie Whitlow Stokes (Stokes) already had their application posted and is due in February (I think), so you should apply to it. The waitlist is done by the date and time for which your applciation was received and so you will not have a good wait list number now, but you could also get super lucky and get a spot in the lottery.

One word of advice, that you may not need--- you should narrow down where you are going to live. If you enter lotteries for schools , whether charter or DCPS out of boundry and then have to truck it accross town 2X a day every day in rush hour, to drop off and pick up--- you are going to pull your hair out! So you may want to look at schools that meet your requirements and are along your commute to work, or close to your house/office.

I agree with the PP, people are very contentious on this board about schools, so try to do your own research and sift through the BS. Good Luck and Welcome to DC.
