[quote=Anonymous]I'm guessing your IB high school is Dunbar, like us. We won't send our kid to Dunbar, so we are lotterying for Latin and BASIS even though we like DCPS and are fine with our middle school feed. We will tell our kid we are lotterying, but won't do school tours unless we get in somewhere. And then we'll make a decision with our kid based on our options. We won't hype up any school or focus on it unless we know it's a real option. For me, knowing we don't want Dunbar for HS makes this an obvious choice, because it's a hedge against being in the position where our kid must get into an application high school. You have to let go of the whole "DCPS v. Charter" or "neighborhood school" thing in DC. If there were lots of good DCPS middles and high schools, you could be picky in that way. There aren't, do you need to be smart.[/quote]
