[quote=Anonymous]Just to make sure you understand:

Basis is a charter with no boundary -- students are only admitted via 5th grade lottery. They don't backfill so you cannot "wait-list in" after that 5th grade lottery.

Deal and Hardy are DCPS schools with boundaries. You must either live in bound, attend a feeder school, or lottery into then.

It is not possible to lottery into Deal from OOB. You can sometimes lottery into a feeder in elementary, so there are some OOB students. But you will not lottery in during middle.

I think Hardy does take a small number if lottery students in MS, I'd have to check the historic numbers.

ITDS is a charter, so lottery only, but unlike Basis they do backfill, so you can get spots there even if you miss the entry year. But it's very small, so not many spots to begin with.

Latin is another popular charter middle and high school. Like Basis it starts in 5th and is very hard to lottery into (actually harder than basis). They do backfill, but there are virtually never spots available.

Anyway you said you were looking to relocate and it's important to understand which school admit students based on where they live and where they don't.[/quote]
