[quote=Anonymous]The most thoughtful and reflective feedback about lotteries will occur after the start of the school year. If you are preparing for next year, I'd definitely check back in the Fall.

But... here are my initial thoughts.

I didn't understand #1 at all. Are you trying to go to a school with not-so-great test scores? I don't think so. Can you clarify?

I think you should figure out what's important to you BEFORE you start visiting schools and getting sales pitches. Is that language immersion? Short commute? Neighborhood school where your kid will go to school with kids they can have playdates with after school? Before and after school considerations?

Everyone's list will be slightly different. Some would choose language immersion over a short commute. Others care more about investing in their local community.

That said, commute is still a consideration and you should look into that. But... I know some folks that looked at commute only and didn't apply to certain charters. Then, they regretted it when their friends got into a highly-regarded school and became part of a ride share group - making the commute issue a non-issue.[/quote]
