[quote=DSSM]I am at a total loss of where to start. I am so overwhelmed when I think about AAP, charter school lotteries, language immersion programs, etc. We are in the process of identifying neighborhoods to buy in and obviously the school district would be an important consideration but how do you go about deciding when your neighborhood would be assigned to a set of elementary, middle, and high schools that may get redistricted before your kids graduate and you *may* get in on one of these lotteries, or your kids *may* pass whatever this AAP test is.

The specialty programs in PG county look great but there's of course no guarantee we'd get in - are the placement rates published anywhere? I know AAP takes the top 15% performers. We're in VA right now and like the area. We were looking to generally stay in the area but if there was some assurance that we could get into a fantastic, not just a good, school if we bought elsewhere, then we would consider it. That kind of rules out DC because the charter lottery seems like too much of a crapshoot for us to risk buying there.

Thanks for any tips![/quote]
