[quote=Anonymous]Hi! Just moved back to DC after fifteen years in Pakistan, post-divorce, and looking to settle down as a single mom with my three kids. They are entering Grades 7, 6, and a 2 1/2 year old. I am completely confused by the public school system here - lottery, immersion, feeders - it seems like I am learning a new language! Since I have not decided ultimately where to settle, I want to do so based on school districts. (I can go to MD or VA if needed, but have a sister in Georgetown I ideally wanted to be near by). Prefer city living to the suburbs. My kids have been in private schools all their lives, but post-divorce I can't afford them, - can anyone help me figure out this tangle, and how I choose where to settle down and restart, how I figure out what schools are the "better" ones, what the deal is with "charter" and "magnet" schools, and basically show me how to navigate the public school system here? THANK YOU SO MUCH!!![/quote]
