[quote=Anonymous]I already have a kid in a charter school, but I'll answer anyway, as I too had the lottery stress.

I bought a condo 9 years ago with no thought of staying while having kids.  I didn't know if I would ever have kids, and I certainly didn't think that I would stay this long.  Fast forward a few years, the downtown area became an amazingly dynamic place to raise a child, with incredible learning resources all within walking distance.  We absolutely love it, and the market isn't so great for selling anyway.  Our in-bounds school though is not up-to-par - the neighborhood tried to switch it around a few years ago, but the effort was disrailed a bit by the placement of a bad principal, so the momentum was lost; hopefully it will be regained in the near future, but it is too late for my child.  We didn't want to move.  We think that there are few better places to raise a child than where we live.  Therefore, welooked at all our choices, did a ton of research, and played the lottery.  In the end, it has worked out perfectly.  We love where we live, and I couldn't imagine sending my child to a school that is more perfect for her and our family in general. [/quote]
